Sydney Catholic Schools is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and we have a zero-tolerance approach to all child abuse. Our dedication to providing a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment for all SCS students goes to the heart of our faith and core purpose.
We are continuously refining our policies, procedures and practices to ensure the Child Safe Standards are implemented throughout our organisational framework. This means that our students’ have a voice, their rights are respected and their best interests are safeguarded at all times.
Sydney Catholic Schools also supports the vision of the National Safe Schools Framework, that ‘all Australian schools are safe, supportive and respectful teaching and learning communities that promote student wellbeing’. We believe that child safety is a shared responsibility and expect all those engaged within our organisation to conduct themselves with integrity and uphold the values that enable children to feel safe and protected from harm.
