Child Safety

At St Laurence O'Toole Primary School, we acknowledge and understand that child safety is the responsibility of every person and is an integral aspect of student wellbeing. We aim to work collaboratively with parents, students and other community members to ensure a safe, inclusive and equitable school environment. At St Laurence O'Toole we work under the Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Limited (DOSCEL) guidelines and use their policies to guide the procedures that are implemented in our school.

Our commitment to the protection of students is based on our belief that each person is made in the image of God, and our ethos is to provide a safe and supportive environment.

All students have the right to expect that the school will always act to protect them from any kind of harm.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding child safety please contact our Child Safety Officers - Liz O'Loughlin - Principal at principal@stlleongatha.catholic.edu.au or Christy Roberts our Deputy Principal on croberts@stlleongatha.catholic.edu.au.
