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
