Our Commitment to Child Safety
All Hallows’ School has zero tolerance for all forms of child abuse and is committed to Child Safety. Our commitment is based on our Mercy values of compassion, respect, justice, and service. We are committed to and promote the safety, wellbeing, inclusion, participation, and empowerment of all children, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children with disability, and children from culturally diverse backgrounds.
Child Safety is the responsibility of every member of the community. All Hallows’ School has a responsibility to understand and communicate the important and specific role staff and volunteers hold regarding Child Safety, to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people is maintained.
Our Child Safety policies, strategies and procedures are inclusive of the needs of all children. The school respects, supports, values, and recognises the diverse needs and contributions of all students.

Bullying Prevention
Everyone at All Hallows’ School has the right to a safe environment free from fear and hurt. Bullying is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Bullying is the intentional and sustained misuse of power, privilege, or position by an individual or group that hurts, rejects, or excludes another individual. It is often surrounded by fear, secrecy and misplaced loyalty to the perpetrator.
It is the responsibility of every member of the School community to ensure that a safe environment exists and to take appropriate action against bullying. Those aware of, or witnessing, bullying behaviour have a responsibility to report it to a responsible adult, or support and assist the person being bullied to report it to a responsible adult, and not allow tacit approval of it as a bystander.
To report a concern about bullying at the School directly to the Dean of Student Wellbeing please complete the form below. Pastoral care and support will be offered to all persons involved with the welfare and best interests of any students involved, being paramount.
