Child Safety

School Holiday Fun and Cyber Safety

The holidays provide a wonderful opportunity for children to relax, spend time with family and friends, enjoy outdoor activities, and recharge for the term ahead. We encourage families to make the most of this time while also maintaining healthy digital habits and monitoring online activity to help keep children safe. 

See the attached flyer for a range of holiday fun ideas and cyber safety practical tips.

Child Safety Standard 3- Child and student empowerment

This standard supports schools to create a culture that values and promotes student participation. This includes:

• informing students about their rights and responsibilities in an age-appropriate way
• recognising the importance of friendships and peer support
• enabling students to actively participate in creating a culture that is safe for them and their peers.

Benefits of empowering students

Empowering children and young people improves child safety. Policies and practices that are shaped by children's and young people's views can better prevent the risk of harm. Children and young people are more likely to speak up when they feel respected and confident that they will be heard.

Sun Smart Policy - Term 4

During Term 4, all students are required to wear hats when playing or completing activities outside. Remember to bring your school hat to school next term!

School Event Photography

We understand that families like to take photos/videos as a lasting memory during school events, however, in line with Child Safe requirements, we kindly ask that you only photograph/video your own child/ren.

School Bathrooms

We ask that any parents, adults or non-students needing to use the bathroom during drop-off or pick-up time use the bathrooms in the school Admin area. To be sure we are creating a safe school environment, bathrooms within the school grounds are to be used by Harvest Home students only.
