Child Safety
Sacred Heart has an ethical and legal responsibility to develop and implement strategies that embed an organisational culture of child safety. All students enrolled, and any child visiting, have a right to feel safe and be safe. The wellbeing of children on our care will always be our first priority and we have zero tolerance to child abuse. Sacred Heart is committed to the protection of all children from all forms of child abuse and demonstrates this commitment through the implementation of a comprehensive Child Safety Program designed to keep children safe.
Should any member of our school community, including visitors, have any queries relating to our Child Safety Program, or wish to report an allegation od child abuse, please contact our child safety officer: Suzie McManus
