STACS regards its child safety responsibilities with the utmost importance and is committed to ensuring compliance with all relevant child protection laws and regulations in order that we may foster and maintain a child safe culture.
Bullying is not tolerated at STACS. The School manages bullying through a whole-of-school community approach involving students, staff and parents/carers. Strategies are implemented continuously to prevent and intervene in any incidents of bullying.
Bullying Prevention and Intervention
While the School always does its best to provide a seamless and efficiently managed school, we accept that there may be times when things don’t go as well as everybody would expect or prefer.
The procedures in the STACS Complaints and Grievances Policy are to help parents and carers and/or students understand the correct method to raise a concern with the School.
The School assures parents, carers and/or students that any concerns raised will be heard and resolved to the best of our ability by those involved, or those who have authority to become involved. However, it is also important to discuss issues first with the school. Quite often, communication can clarify matters quickly and simply.
