Child Safe Standard 11– Turning Our Commitment into Action
At St Michael’s, the safety, wellbeing and dignity of every child are at the heart of all we do.
Child Safe Standard 11 focuses on ensuring that schools have clear, accessible policies and procedures that guide how we protect children and respond to concerns.
These include expectations for staff behaviour, professional boundaries, reporting obligations and processes for raising and responding to concerns or complaints. By making these procedures transparent and consistently applying them, we strengthen accountability and ensure child safety remains a shared responsibility.
Families play an important role in this partnership. We encourage parents and carers to familiarise themselves with our Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy, ask questions, share concerns and continue encouraging their children to speak openly about their experiences at school.
Guided by our Catholic values, we recognise that keeping children safe requires more than good intentions. It requires meaningful action, shared understanding and ongoing collaboration.
Together, we continue to nurture a school community where every child feels safe, valued, heard and supported to thrive.
What is World Kindness Day?
World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world.
If every Australian performed an act of kindness on World Kindness Day, we would have 25 million acts of kindness in a single day.
The possibilities are endless – together let’s make Australia kinder.
