Child Protection and Safety

Simonds Catholic College’s fundamental responsibility is the care, safety and well-being of all students whilst in our care. There is a moral and legal responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment for all our students. Simonds Catholic College is committed to the protection of all our students from all forms of abuse.

Commitment to Child Safety

Simonds Catholic College promotes the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all children.

All students enrolled at Simonds Catholic College have the right to feel safe and to be safe. The wellbeing of boys in our care will always be our first priority and we do not and will not tolerate child abuse. We aim to create a child-safe and child-friendly environment where children are free to enjoy life to the full without any concern for their safety.

We have developed a Child Safety Program made up of work systems, practices, policies and procedures designed to maintain a child safe environment and to embed an organisational culture of child safety within the College community.

Further information relating to the Ministerial Order 870 Standards that came into effect on 1 August, 2016 is available on the Victorian State Government - Victorian Registration & Qualifications Authority's website.
