Child Safe Principles and Our Code of Conduct:
We hold our responsibility to provide a child-safe environment in accordance with the child-safe standards seriously. As the College has a duty of care to its students, the expectation and understanding is that all staff will act in the best interests of the students and that the welfare and safety of students will be of paramount concern.
