Child Safety
At all times, the ongoing safety and well-being of all children and young people will be the primary focus of care and decision-making, with particular attention paid to the most vulnerable children, including Aboriginal children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, children with a disability, children who are unable to live at home, international students, and students of diverse sexuality.
To create and maintain a safe environment and nurturing culture, CES Ltd and St Joseph's Primary School will actively and continually develop and review all policies, processes and practices, informed and responsive to legislation and evidence.
The St Joseph's Primary, Quarry Hill Child Safety, Student Behaviours, Duty of Care, Complaints Management and Enrolment Policies and Procedures are available from the St Joseph's Website: www.sjquarryhill.catholic.edu.au

World Kindness Day
🌍 World Kindness Day – Thursday November 13, 2025
World Kindness Day is a beautiful reminder that even the smallest acts can make a big difference. Whether it’s a smile, a kind word, a helping hand, or a simple “thank you,” kindness has the power to brighten someone’s day — and our world.
This year, let’s all take a moment to spread kindness in our school/community/workplace. Hold the door open for someone, write a note of appreciation, include someone new in your group, or share a compliment. Every act of kindness creates a ripple that inspires others to do the same.
