The Code of Conduct is the definitive guide to the behaviours we want to model to, and expect from, our children and young people. We want to create a culture that assists our children and young people on their learning journey. We can only achieve such a culture in partnership with all who participate in our community.聽The Keeping Safe Child Protection curriculum is a program that spans from 3 years up to Year 12.聽 Our College delivers this curriculum during classroom teaching, and through the Wellbeing Programs and Health curriculum.
