Child 

Safety and Health Policies (student)
The child protection policy describes the approach the school takes when it come
s to development of a healthy organization in which both children and young people feel 
safe and secure. A school for children is not just a venue for formal education. Most
importantly, this is an institution which recognizes and respects children's rights and not
just their right to education. These rights also include their right to be protected, to be
able to play and play, to be protecting themselves from harm and violence and to freely
express their opinions and to be active in decision-making in accordance with their
changing capacities. A child-safety school also instills the obligations that go with its
rights in children while maintaining children's rights. They include respect for others'
rights, respect for diversity, fair practice and addressing disagreements without
violence. Equally critical is the development of a child-friendly school that encourages
children to learn as much as their academic capacities can take. It is a kind of
environment which allows you to grow healthy, provide you with knowledge and
information.

Care Duty Policy (teacher)


Besides their ethical responsibilities, teachers and administrators have a legal
duty to recognize and reasonable steps to protect students in their care. The teacher's
care responsibility is not limited to the school's locality or to school activities; or events
outside the school where a student acts on orders from an instructor. The duty also
applies to situations both before and after school where a teacher can be deemed to
have ‘assumed’ the teacher pupil relationship. While each case regarding a teacher’s
legal duty of care will be judged on the circumstances that occurred at the time, the
following common examples may be times when a teacher has failed to meet their legal
duty of care responsibilities to their students:-  arriving late to scheduled timetabled
yard duty responsibilities  failing to act appropriately to protect a student who claims to
be bullied  believing that a child is being abused but failing to report the matter
appropriately  being late to supervise the line up of students after the bell has sounded
 leaving students unattended in the classroom or ignoring dangerous play  failing to
instruct a student who is not wearing a hat to play in the shade  leaving the school
during ‘non-face to face teaching time’ without approval  inadequate supervision on a
school excursion
