Child Safety

St Agatha's is committed to complying with Ministerial Order 1359

Protection of children and young people is based upon the belief that each person is made in the image and likeness of God, and that the inherent dignity of all should be recognised and fostered.

 

St Agatha's is committed to child protection strategies and procedures to ensure the care, safety and protection of all students at St Agatha's School and safeguarding students against sexual, physical, psychological and emotional abuse and/or neglect.

 

At St Agatha's the Child Safe Champions are Meegan Blackney (Deputy) and Cath Backhouse (school counsellor).

All visitors/volunteers who attend the school to help in the classroom, excursions, etc must have a current Working With Children Card, have completed the induction session and signed the School's Child Safe Code of Conduct.

Child Safe Code of Conduct

All staff, visitors, contractors and volunteers must adhere to the Child Safe Code of Conduct. The purpose of this document is to keep our students safe when at school. It is an expectation that visitors, contractors and volunteers read and agree to follow this at all times when at St Agatha's School or when on an excursion.
