The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people is a central and fundamental responsibility of Sacred Heart Primary School.

We provide a culturally safe environment for Aboriginal children, students, and their families. We welcome children from culturally and or linguistically diverse backgrounds and we provide a safe learning environment for vulnerable students and students with a disability.
Our Child Safety & Wellbeing Policy, which sets out the school’s procedures and strategies to keep students safe from harm.  Our Safeguarding Children and Young People Code of Conduct, reporting and responding processes and our robust human resources and recruitment practices apply to all employees, contractors and volunteers involved in child-connected work.
We are committed to the safety, participation and empowerment of all students. There is zero tolerance of any child abuse, and all allegations and safety concerns will be treated very seriously and consistently with our robust policies and procedures.
