POLICY UPDATE

From February to August 2025, the Australian Government conducted a Rapid Review into Anti-Bullying to assess what strategies were effective in preventing and addressing bullying in schools, and to identify areas needing improvement. As a result, a National Framework for Addressing Bullying in Australian Schools was developed. Our Responsible Relationships: Antibullying Policy has been revised to include recommendations from both the rapid review and the National Framework.

We are dedicated to increasing public awareness and preventing bullying through student education, teaching students how to report incidents, file complaints, and know whom to approach – whether it’s their PC teacher, classroom teacher, Head of House, Head of Year, Student Protection Officers, or any staff member they trust. Reports will be escalated and investigated accordingly.

The College aims to make reasonable efforts to initiate safety and support planning and communicate with relevant parties within two school days of becoming aware of bullying or other harmful behaviours.
