At Kingswood College, the safety and wellbeing of our students is our highest priority. As part of our ongoing commitment to child safety, we will be focusing on one of the 11 Child Safe Standards each week, ensuring our community understands these important guidelines that all schools are required to implement.

This week, we begin with Standard 1: Establishing a Culturally Safe Environment.

What does this mean?

A culturally safe environment is one where the diverse and unique identities of all children, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people, are respected and valued. This means ensuring that our policies, practices, and school culture promote inclusion and actively challenge racism and discrimination.

How do we do this at Kingswood College?

• Embedding respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures into our curriculum and daily practices.
• Providing opportunities for students to learn about and celebrate Indigenous history and perspectives.
• Ensuring our policies and staff training programs uphold the rights and wellbeing of all students.
• Encouraging students to express their identities and feel safe in their learning environment.

Over the coming weeks, we will continue to explore each of the 11 Child Safe Standards and how they are embedded in the fabric of our College. We invite our community to engage in this journey with us, ensuring that Kingswood College remains a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for every child.
