Child Safety First

All children have the right to feel and be safe.  Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility.  Box Hill High School is committed to providing a child safe environment where children are safe and feel safe, and where their voices are heard about the decisions that affect their lives.  All organisations in Victoria that provide services or facilities for children are required to comply with Child Safe Standards, to ensure that the safety of children is promoted, child abuse is prevented and allegations of child abuse are properly responded to.
