At St Teresa’s College, we have developed comprehensive policies and procedures to provide clear guidance for staff, families and students. These policies form the foundation of a safe, respectful and supportive boarding and learning environment.

They ensure clarity of expectations, promote accountability, and reflect our commitment to the wellbeing of every young man in our care. Through these frameworks, we strive to create a community where all members feel valued, protected and able to thrive.

Child Safeguarding

At St Teresa’s College, the safety and wellbeing of the young men in our care is our highest priority. We take our child safeguarding responsibilities seriously and are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful and inclusive environment for all students.

As a boarding community, we understand the trust families place in us — particularly those from rural, remote and very remote communities across Australia. We work hard to ensure every student feels safe, heard and supported.

Student voice and agency are central to our approach. We actively encourage young men to speak up  and play an active role in shaping their College experience.

As part of Edmund Rice Education Australia, our safeguarding policies and practices are regularly reviewed to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. All staff are required to complete mandatory Child Safeguarding training and uphold the highest professional standards.

Creating a safe environment is everyone’s responsibility — and at St Teresa’s, it underpins everything we do.
