CHILD SAFETY STANDARDS: KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE
Standard 5:
All staff and community members need to know how to reportan incident if they suspect a child is being hurt in some way or isfeeling unsafe. At Cana we have a flow chart that informs staff,students and parents about who they need to speak to shouldthey have any concerns about the safety of a student. This flowchart is on our website!
Standard 6:
Cana Catholic Primary School needs to constantly identify,reduce, remove or make some changes to things that mightmake children feel unsafe. At Cana we conduct regular RiskAssessments to inform how best to reduce or remove unsafe risksthat children may encounter. Some examples of when riskassessments are conducted are; excursions, incursions,celebration days, hot food lunch and induction of workexperience students.
You may access any of the Child Safe Standards at https://providers.dhhs.vic.gov.au/child-safe-standards

SCHOOL CROSSING !!!
It is very important ALL parents and ALL children use the school crossing at ALL timesduring drop off and pick up. Traffic is the most busiest at these times and the safetyof everyone is most important.
On a Friday 16thAug, a student was hit by a vehicle driving past. This occurred as thestudent ran across the street to their parent/s during pick up time without using theschool crossing and without looking. The driver called the office quite distress andconcerned and wanted to raise an alert to Cana. Luckily the driver was going at thecorrect speed and we are fortunate that no one was injured.
We stress the importance of safety at Cana and urge ALL parents and ALL childrento ensure they use the school crossing at all times.
