Child Safety / Pastoral Wellbeing

St Joseph's, Quarry Hill is a child-safe school.   We promote the safety, well-being and inclusion of all children.

PBIS Whole School Procedure

Last week's Whole School Procedure was -

The student PBIS team designed this procedure and are great ambassadors by  leading by example.  The team visited the classrooms last week to discuss the importance of using the correct language.  Please discuss this procedure and its importance at school, home and in the community.  Praise your child when you see them greeting others politely, using their manners and thinking before they speak. 

 

Whole School Reward - Term 2

Thank you to you all for getting behind our whole school reward last term.

 

This was a great celebration for students reaching their goal and collecting tokens for positive whole-school behaviour.

 

It was a fun day with a lot of colour and vibrancy, with many students wearing their favourite food colours or food choices.   A yummy hot chip lunch was also enjoyed by all. 

 

Thank you for your support with Pastoral wellbeing at St Joseph’s.

 

Please contact me with any questions or queries in the area of wellbeing.

Attendance Matters

Whole School Attendance - Our whole school attendance for our first week back at school is - 86.96%

 

Winter is a time for many illnesses and germs floating around.  This can be a tricky time to keep up with school attendance which is understandable.  Hopefully, we can keep our chins up as we approach warmer weather in September.

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
