Our staff and members of our school community understand that we have a role and responsibility as both individuals and as a collective, to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of all children is paramount with all decisions that we make.
Our school has built a foundation of wellbeing and leadership support that ensures staff are well supported and guided through Child Safe Standards and Mandatory Reporting.
We provide a nurturing, culturally respectful and supportive environment so that students feel safe, cared for and included; and that they understand they have a voice so they feel comfortable to speak to trusted adults.
