Safe School Framework News

Child Safe Framework at Infant Jesus School

The person of each individual human being, in his or her material and spiritual needs, is at the heart of Christ’s teaching: that is why the promotion of the human person is the goal of the Catholic school.  Congregation for Catholic Education 1997, par 9.

The Child Safe Framework and the Code of Conduct are clearly linked as both focus on the safety and well-being of our children.   

At Infant Jesus School the purpose of the Code of Conduct is to describe minimum standards of conduct in all behaviour and decision making to ensure the safety and well-being of students.

The Code applies to staff, students, volunteers, parents and guardians and all who come to our school. The term ‘parents’ includes guardians.  Infant Jesus School has a Code of Conduct in place, and as parents, you sign this and agree to this.  All staff are required to adhere to the Code of Conduct. This week the focus is Conduct Statement Three.

Conduct Statement Three

You act in accordance with the values of the Gospel as defined in the Code of Ethical Conduct.

What does this look like at Infant Jesus School?   At Infant Jesus School, we are Catholic Learners, we value the messages of the Gospel and we model our daily work on Jesus Christ; in our actions, thoughts and words to each other.  Some examples of expected behaviours and minimum standards are listed below.  This is not a finite list.  A breach of the Code of Conduct must be reported to the Principal, and it is a breach of the code NOT to do so.
