Our Commitment to Students

Â鶹Éç is committed to the care, safety and wellbeing of all students while in our care. Our staff have a shared responsibility to provide our students with a safe and secure environment on campus, online and in other locations provided by the school.

Â鶹Éç is committed to:

  • being a child-safe environment which has zero tolerance for child abuse;
  • actively engaging; listening to and empowering all our students;
  • open communication with our families and supporting them to promote the wellbeing and safety of their children;
  • establishing child-safe relationships within our community;
  • developing an organisational culture marked by collaborative, vigilant and proactive approaches across policies, procedures, curriculum and practices;
  • supporting and developing all our staff in their roles to educate, care for and protect our students.

Ministerial Order 1359 is a key part of the Government’s response to the recommendations of the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into the Handling of Child Abuse by Religious and other Non-Government Organisations.

Â鶹Éç supports the Ministerial Order and Child Safe Standards to ensure protection of all children, believing all young people have the right to be protected from all forms of abuse and neglect.
