Wellbeing
Child Safe Standards
At Holy Saviour, we make a commitment to Child Safety and Wellbeing.
As Catholic educators, we have a moral, mission-driven and legal responsibility to uphold and actively promote the wellbeing and safety of every student entrusted in our care. Our commitment to the protection of students is enabled in nurturing, respectful and safe communities where the uniqueness and sacred dignity of every young person are celebrated and they are able to flourish in their learning and development. We are doing this by implementing the NEW 11 Child Safe Standards.
On Monday 24th October, I met with all Grade 6 students to present to them a child-friendly version of the NEW Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy. We reviewed the policy and all 16 students (who were present at the time) agreed and voted that it represented their best interests in relation to child safety.
Further to this, I will be meeting with a selection of students from Grades 5 and 6 over the coming weeks in a working party to develop a Child-Friendly version of our Code of Conduct. It's an exciting time for the school as we work together to ensure we are promoting and delivering a safe and engaging environment for all. If you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact me.

Onsite Counselling
This term we are fortunate to once again have our two Provisional Psychologists from ISN Psychology to Holy Saviour. Ciaran Barton will be working with us on Mondays and Fridays and Audrey Tran will be working with us on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Here's a little bit about them:
My name is Ciaran and I am a Provisional Psychologist that has lots of experience working with children of all ages and love seeing them grow and develop. I focus on working with their strengths and making sure that we can have fun while we learn about ourselves and others. I am a huge Richmond supporter and you might see me screaming at my TV (or the game) when we lose. I have a dog named Roger and he loves to give me his puppy dog eyes to get what he wants. I look forward to being part of this great school and working with all of their intelligent, fun, and diverse students.
Hello! My name is Audrey and I am a provisional psychologist. First of all, I just want to say how excited I am to be at Holy Saviour Primary School and getting to know all the amazing kids at the school. Now a little about me, my hobbies include playing games on the switch and watching tv shows and movies. I am a massive Harry Potter fan so you'll often see me wearing my Slytherin scarf around the school. Come say hi when you see me around the school on Tuesday and Fridays!
If any parents are seeking counselling support for their children, please make contact with me and I can organise to send consent forms home with your child (or via email).
