Policies

At Sacred Heart Primary School, our policies help guide and support a safe, inclusive, and well-managed school environment for every student, staff member, and family. We operate under the governance of Diocese of Ballarat Catholic Education Limited (DOBCEL) and align with both diocesan and government legislation to ensure high standards in all aspects of school life.

​

We are committed to:

• Upholding the rights and dignity of every student

• Ensuring student safety, wellbeing, and inclusion

• Providing clear, transparent communication with families

• Supporting effective teaching, learning, and care

 

All DOBCEL policies are developed to reflect best practice, Catholic values, and compliance with relevant education and child safety laws.
