Protection, Safety And Wellbeing

A Commitment We Make To Every Student

At Mazenod College, we hold the care, safety and well-being of students as a central and fundamental responsibility of our organisation. All students have a right to be safe and feel safe. We commit to ensure and protect these rights in all aspects of our community and programs.

Mazenod has a zero tolerance of child abuse and other harmful behaviours. All allegations and safety concerns will be responded to actively, sensitively, respectfully and in a timely manner, in line with our lawful obligations and complaints handling procedures.

Mazenod College enacts the Church’s commitment to the dignity of the individual. All members of our College have a fundamental right to be treated with respect, and to learn and teach in a safe and supportive environment. We encourage students to contribute more broadly to the development of the kind of world envisaged by Christ, to form a commitment to the love, compassion and justice of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We promote justice, particularly to those who are culturally, physically, intellectually, financially or spiritually disadvantaged (Mandate for the Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia, 2009).
