All students enrolled at St Joseph’s College have the right to feel safe and be safe. The wellbeing of children in our care will always be our first priority and we have no tolerance for child abuse and are committed to implementing the Victorian Child Safe Standards and Ministerial Order 1359 (MO 1359). We aim to create a child-safe and child-friendly environment where children are free to enjoy life to the full without any concern for their safety. There is particular attention paid to the most vulnerable children, including First Nations children, children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and children with a disability.
