At Assumption College the safety and wellbeing of our students is our highest priority. All children should grow up free of violence or exploitation and be able to learn in a safe and supported environment. Schools have a number of specific child protection reporting obligations that are detailed in our Student Protection Processes and Guidelines.

If a student wants to talk to someone about harm, abuse or inappropriate behaviour toward themselves or others, they can speak to a trusted staff member or one of our School Student Protection Contacts (SSPCs). The SSPCs receive additional training and are identified in the student protection posters displayed around the school.

The SSPCs for Assumption College are:

Liisa Hammond, Principal

Anna Hardy, Deputy Principal

Michael Simpson, Assistant Principal

Jenny Gillespie, College Counsellor

Julie Collins, Teacher

Summary documents have been developed for parents and caregivers about our student protection obligations and our broader strategy for maintain safe school environments.
