Child safety and wellbeing at Aspendale Primary School:

Information for families and the school community

Aspendale Primary School is committed to providing an environment where students are safe and feel safe.

Our child safety framework ( Policies ) explains how we support and maintain child safety and wellbeing at Aspendale Primary School. It includes our:

Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
Child abuse (including grooming) – identification and response, and
Child Safety Code of Conduct, which outlines acceptable and unacceptable behaviours for all staff and volunteers at our school.

Our students and families are important partners in providing a child safe environment. These newsletter reminders are one of the ways we ensure our school community is aware of:

our commitment to child safety, and
how to provide feedback or raise child safety concerns.

If you have any concerns about child safety at any time, please contact Amelia Busuttil or Tom Pearce on 9580 3255. Any child safety complaints or concerns are treated seriously. For more information about our school’s complaints process, see our Complaints Policy (Policies).

We also welcome your ideas on ways we can improve our approach to child safety and wellbeing. If you have any suggestions or comments, please contact Amelia Busuttil on 9580 3255 or at aspendale.ps@education.vic.gov.au.
