Child safe School Student sub-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 staff 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 committee’s ongoing members include Scott Cadby (Wellbeing Counsellor and Chair of the Committee), Sophie Gonzales (Wellbeing Counsellor), Jenny White (Wellbeing Counsellor/Coordinator), Mark Jones (Deputy Principal) and Sam Radford (Middle School Coordinator). House and Year Level coordinators have a one year rotating term on the committee with James Honan (Year 7 Coordinator) and Mel Lyons (Benilde Coordinator) being valued members in 2019.

 

The Child Safe School Student-sub Committee was created in term 3 of 2018 as the staff committee agreed that we needed to promote the participation and empowerment of the students themselves. To date students on the sub-Committee have passed on valuable feedback regarding student safety and wellbeing within the school.

 

Students on the sub-Committee for 2019 include; Romolo Esposito, Jakob Anderson, Liam Crisp, Elijah McEvoy, Aaron Arthur, Matthew Dunne, Jonathan Clark, Elliot Ferriggi and Nathan Murphy. Sub-committee meetings are organised and facilitated by Scott Cadby.
