Sacred Heart College holds the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as a central and fundamental responsibility.
Our commitment is drawn from, and inherent to, the teaching and mission of Jesus Christ, with love, justice and the sanctity of each human person at the heart of the gospel (CECV Commitment Statement to Child Safety). The College requires all workplace participants to have either a Working with Children Check or VIT registration, to comply with its Code of Conduct, and to complete regular training in child safety and wellbeing matters. All successful candidates will have appropriate background checks undertaken to confirm suitability to work with children.

In support of our employees being continuous and proactive learners, we have implemented SHC Extend, a learning management system enabling access to internal professional learning programs in a targeted and user-guided fashion and which supports employees to build an online portfolio that documents their growth. Opportunities for professional learning at the College ensure that professional knowledge and practice is at the forefront of school development.
