Child Safety at BHHS

The safety and wellbeing of every student is our highest priority.

As part of our commitment to maintaining a child safe environment and meeting our obligations under the Victorian Child Safe Standards, we review and update our Child Safety policies and procedures on a regular basis.

Each year, we share these documents with our school community to ensure students, families, staff and volunteers understand the expectations and responsibilities that help keep our school safe, inclusive and respectful for all.

We encourage all families to take a few moments to read these important policies:

• Child Safety Code of Conduct
• Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy 
• Child Safety Induction Pack – Volunteers
• Child Abuse (Including Grooming) Identification and Response Policy and Procedures

• Student Wellbeing and Engagement

   

These policies, along with other Child Safe Policies, can be located on our school website. 

Our students and families are important partners in providing a child safe environment. 

This newsletter reminder is 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 a member of the Principal Class Team (Principal Kellie Ind, Assistant Principals Michael Oaten, Shareen Bottrell, Greg Breese), or alternatively our Child Safe Champion and Head of Student Wellbeing, Felicity Shiel-Jones. 

By working together, we can continue to foster a culture where every young person feels safe, valued, heard and supported.

Thank you for partnering with us in creating a child safe school community.
