Child Safety

St Agatha's is committed to complying with Ministerial Order 1359

Protection of children and young people is based upon the belief that each person is made in the image and likeness of God, and that the inherent dignity of all should be recognised and fostered.

 

St Agatha's is committed to child protection strategies and procedures to ensure the care, safety and protection of all students at St Agatha's School and safeguarding students against sexual, physical, psychological and emotional abuse and/or neglect.

 

At St Agatha's the Child Safe Champions are Meegan Blackney (Deputy) and Cath Backhouse (school counsellor).
