Child safety and wellbeing at PPS: information for families and the school community
Parkdale Primary is committed to providing an environment where students are safe and feel safe.
Our child safety framework explains how we support and maintain child safety and wellbeing at PPS. It includes our:
- Child Safety Policy
- Child Safety Reporting and Responding Obligations Procedures, and
- Child Safety Code of Conduct, which outlines acceptable and unacceptable behaviours for all staff and volunteers at our school.
Our students and families are important partners in providing a child safe environment. These regular newsletter reminders are one of the ways we ensure our school community is aware of:
- our commitment to child safety, and
- how to provide feedback or raise child safety concerns.
If you have any concerns about child safety at any time, please contact Tracy Richards on 9580 1451. Any child safety complaints or concerns are treated seriously. For more information about our school’s complaints process, see our Complaints Policy.
We also welcome your ideas on ways we can improve our approach to child safety and wellbeing. If you have any suggestions or comments please contact Leanne Bradney or Tracy Richards at parkdale.ps@education.vic.gov.au
Do we have your most up to date contact details?
As part of our 2024 school year procedures (as required by the DET) you would have received by separate email on Thursday 13th June, your 2024 "Student Enrolment Information Form".
Please take the time to read this enrolment information and make any alterations as required. In particular, employer name, work contact and emergency contact numbers are required in case your child may be unwell or injured.
In relation to Family Details on page 3, the Government allocate funding to schools, according to our parent/guardian "Occupation Group". If no occupation is received then the code reverts to the highest occupation group possible and in turn reduces our school funding for the year. If you have changed your occupation, please look at the Parent Occupation Group Codes at the end of the report and amend if necessary.
All information is for statistical reasons only. The information is strictly confidential and in accordance with the Privacy Act.
If your child is subject to ‘Custody Restrictions’ the school must have a copy on record.
If the information is correct, please sign and return the 1st page of the document as a hard copy. If there is any information that is incorrect, please write the updated information next to each item and return the whole form to the school office, by Friday 28 June.
