Commitment to child safety

Our culture of child safety at Mackellar Primary School ensures that the school prioritises the safety of the children in our care and has a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse. At Mackellar Primary School, child safety is part of everyone's everyday thinking and practice, and an ongoing, dedicated process of improvement. Such a culture is achieved through proactive leadership in demonstrating appropriate values, attitudes and behaviours.
