Child Safety

Qustodio Parent Tools Available Now

We’re excited to share that the Qustodio Parent App is now available! As part of our ongoing commitment to Student Digital Wellbeing, we invite you to set up your parent account and take an active role in fostering healthy digital habits and a safe online environment for your child.

By linking your account to your child, you’ll gain valuable insights into their online activity and have access to tools that support positive digital behaviours - both on their school-provided learning device and an additional personal device of your choice. 

With the Qustodio parent app, you'll have the ability to apply:

✅ Content Filtering – Control which websites and content categories your child can access.

✅ App & Game Management – Block distracting or inappropriate apps to keep your child focused.

✅ Custom Schedules – Set tailored rules for different times of the day, such as Homework or Bedtime.

✅ Comprehensive Activity Reports – Gain insights into your child’s online behaviour, including search history.

✅ Expert Online Safety Advice – Receive guidance from professionals to support your child’s digital well-being.

New Child Safe Standards and Reportable Conduct Guides 

There are now 11 Child Safe Standards in Victoria following the launch on 1st July 2022.

Over the past few years, Catholic School Parents Victoria (of which Sacred Heart is a member) has collaborated with the Commission for Children and Young People (CCYP) to  develop resources for parents to understand the Child Safe Standards, what a child safe organisation should look like and a tip sheet to support you to know what questions to ask your school or community organisation to ensure they are following the standards.
