Child Safe School Committee

In line with Ministerial Order 870, St Bede's College created a 'Child Safe School Committee' in late 2016.  

The committee’s primary focus is to ensure that each student attending the College is safe in all dimensions of their schooling, home life and personal development.

The committee has met regularly since its inception and has worked hard to ensure that the school’s policies and procedures satisfy relevant Child Safe Standards. The introduction of these standards form part of the Victorian Government’s response to the recommendations of the Betrayal of Trust report, which found that more must be done to prevent and respond to child abuse in the community.

The committee’s ongoing members include Scott Cadby (Wellbeing Counsellor), Sophie Gonzales (Wellbeing Counsellor), Jenny White (Wellbeing Counsellor/Coordinator), Mark Jones (Deputy Principal) and Luke Green (Deputy Principal). House and Year Level Coordinators will have a one year rotating term on the committee with Geoff Harrison (Year 9 Coordinator) and Mel Lyons (Benilde Coordinator) being valued members in 2018.
