Student protection and wellbeing are paramount in Catholic Schools.Our commitment to the protection of students is based in our belief that each person is made in the image of God, and our ethos is to provide a safe and supportive environment for all. All students have the right to expect that the school will always act to protect them from any kind of harm.
From 31 August 2020, a person cannot undertake volunteer work and a school cannot engage a person as a volunteer if the person is:
