Camberwell Girls Grammar School (CGGS) is a child safe school which welcomes all children, young people, their families and their participation.

We are committed to providing culturally inclusive environments where all our students are safe and feel safe, and have confidence their voice is heard.

We promote positive interactions between students and adults, and between students and their peers based on mutual trust and respect.

Child safety is a shared responsibility. Everyone engaged or employed by CGGS has a role to play in promoting child safety.  All are aware of their responsibility to promptly raise issues or concerns about a child’s safety or wellbeing.  

We have no tolerance for child abuse and we take proactive steps to identify children who may be at risk or experiencing vulnerability to mitigate harm or distress.

Particular attention is given to the safety needs of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students, those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, students with disabilities, international students, those unable to live at home and children and young people who identify as LGBTQIA+  

We regularly seek input from students, parents, carers, staff and volunteers in our child safe practices and communicate our policies and ongoing strategies following each systematic review.
