Child Safety

The Child Safe Standards (the Standards) are compulsory minimum standards for all Victorian schools and organisations to ensure they are well prepared to keep children and young people safe and protect them from abuse. 

At OLSC we are committed to creating a culture of child safety where the safety, dignity and wellbeing of all children is paramount. We continue to build on our existing child safety strategies, policies and practices to strengthen our culture of child safety and protect all children from harm.

All children need to know that if they feel unsafe at any time they can go to a trusted adult. Let's all reinforce the message below.

Positive Behaviours for Learning

As part of our ongoing development as a PBL school we continue to explicitly teach & model expectations from our matrix. Our data has shown that we need to reteach the following expectations.

The foci for the next few weeks are:

Respect: 

We are aware of the personal space of others

We are patient

Responsibility

We keep our hands, feet & objects to ourselves

We follow the rules in games

We move in a safe way

Resilience:

We include others

We talk through our disagreements with others

We let an adult know if we are feeling unsafe

These expectations will be explicitly taught during Wellbeing Hour & revisited throughout the week. It would be great if you could also reinforce these expectations at home and ask your child/children how they are following these at school.

If you have any concerns please contact Sandy - shenderson@olscwyn.catholic.edu.au or Kiah - kmiles@olscwyn.catholic.edu.au - Alternatively you can phone the school office.

Cheers

Sandy & Kiah
