A Child Safe School

A child safe culture

An open and transparent child safe culture is important for families and communities; a strong community provides a supportive and inclusive environment that helps children grow their social-emotional skills, feel a sense of belonging, and feel safe. This is why our school encourages and supports our families to take an active role in promoting and maintaining child safety and wellbeing by communicating and providing our community with accessible information about our child safe policies and practices as well as involving you in our approach to child safety and wellbeing.

We pride ourselves on the close-knit community that we foster. This means our staff know every student, and their family. An important aspect of Child Safe Standard 4 is engaging with families and communities about student wellbeing. At our school, these conversations occur through formal settings, like parent-teacher interviews, but also informal occasions. Every day our staff, including teachers, administration staff, and leadership, have conversations with the families of our students. Families are always welcome and encouraged to get in contact to discuss any concerns or provide feedback regarding matters with our schools, our child safe practices, and student wellbeing. You are invited to contact Mrs Lousie Chesterfield and Mrs Lisa Glatz, our Child Safety Officers, anytime via the Front Office on 03 5382 3000 or by email – louisec@smjhorsham.catholic.edu.au or lglatz@smjhorsham.catholic.edu.au
