Safe School Framework News

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. 

Conduct Statement Four
You conduct yourself in accordance with laws, agreements, policies and standards relevant to
your relationship with the school community.

What does this look like at Infant Jesus School?   Simply put, we all agree to follow the procedures of the school, and to be supportive of these policies.  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.
