Child Safety

Mercy Regional College holds the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as a central and fundamental responsibility. We are committed to providing our students with a safe, supportive and enriching environment to develop spiritually, physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.

All students enrolled at Mercy Regional College, and any children visiting, have a right to feel safe and be safe.

The College staff, volunteers, and external contractors are expected to actively contribute to a school culture that respects the dignity of its members and affirms the Gospel values of love, care for others, compassion and justice. They are required to observe child safe principles and expectations for appropriate behaviour towards and in the company of children.

Child Protection Team

The College Child Protection Team is responsible for ensuring that all members of the College community follow child safety standards. The Child Protection Team will respond to any complaints made by staff, volunteers, parents or students in relation to child safety.
