Child Protection Policy – Message From Chief Educational Officer

Dear Member of the EMASI Community,

At EMASI, the safety of your children is paramount. When students feel safe, happy and supported they learn, thrive and develop the confidence and inner strength needed to succeed in a global world. We understand that a safe environment helps to support and promote not only academic success but, the development of citizens with a strong and focussed social, moral, cultural and spiritual compass.

In keeping with our core values the school follows a Child Protection Policy aimed at guiding our staff and families in matters related to the health, safety and care of children in attendance at our school. By enrolling your child in an EMASI school you agree to work in partnership with the school and abide by the policies adopted by the Board.

The school has adopted protocols which are extended and incorporated into daily practice, curriculum and activities with the following aims:

Developing a safe and healthy school environment;

Providing age appropriate lessons for all grade levels to help students understand personal safety, needs, and rights;

Providing parent materials and information sessions to help better understand school programs and policy;

Train, on an annual basis, school employees and contracted staff to recognise and report issues of abuse and neglect.

At EMASI we know that we can work together to ensure that our students are safe and knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities. I thank you for your support and invite you to contact the relevant Deputy Head of School or Child Protection Officer, if you have any questions related to Child Protection and school policies in support of it.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr Peter Gittins
Chief Education Officer of EMASI Schools
