建设安全校园的重要话题
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！今天，我将再次跟大家讲一讲校园安全的重要话题，我校作为澳大利亚社区语言学校成立至今没有发生过重大人员（包括师生和家长）的伤亡事故，但是政府对儿童安全越来越重视，也制定了更加严厉的保护儿童安全的法律。因此，我们有必要把儿童安全的相关事宜跟大家再次传达一下：
首先，大家需要了解“澳大利亚全国儿童安全十项原则”：
第一，儿童安全与健康准则是在各阶层的领导、管理和文化中贯彻执行的原则；
第二，让儿童和年轻人知道他的权益，邀请他们参与影响他们生活的决策的原则；
第三，家庭和社区知晓并参与儿童安全与健康建设的原则；
第四，在儿童安全准则制定和执行中尊重多元化、提倡平等的原则；
第五，参与儿童工作的人员在工作中认同儿童安全与健康价值观的原则；
第六，以儿童为中心的投诉程序的原则；
第七，通过为员工和志愿者提供有关儿童安全的持续培训和再教育保障儿童安全的原则；
第八，提高实体与网上环境中儿童的安全与健康，减少儿童受到伤害机会的原则；
第九，定期回顾总结，不断提高全国儿童安全准则贯彻执行的原则；
第十，儿童安全准则和执行程序有文字记录的原则。
其次，还需要了解儿童安全的十一项标准：
1，学校要创建一个安全的文化环境，尊重和珍惜土著儿童和青少年的多样化和独特的身份特征和个人经历；鼓励和积极支持儿童表达其文化的能力和享受其文化的权利。
2， 儿童安全与心智健康融入在学校的管理和文化中。
3， 赋予儿童和青少年权利，让他们参与对其会产生影响的决策制定，并认真对待他们的参与。
4，家庭和社区了解并参与促进儿童安全与健康。
5，学校在政策和执行上既保持公平又尊重不同需求。
6，学校选择合适的人员与儿童和青少年一起工作，并在工作中体现儿童安全和健康的价值。
7，学校建立的投诉流程要以儿童为重心。
8，教职员工和志愿者通过持续的学习和培训掌握保护儿童和青少年安全的相关知识、技能和意识。
9，实体和网络环境促进儿童安全与健康，降低儿童与青少年受到伤害的机会。
10，定期审查和改进儿童安全标准的执行。
11，制定相关政策和工作流程确保儿童和青少年的安全。
建设一个安全的校园环境有利于维持正常的教学，更有利于学生的健康成长。这需要我们学校社区每一位成员的共同理解、支持和参与。

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
I would like to talk about the child safety on campus again. As a community language school, no serious injury or accident has ever happened at XJS on campus (including teachers, students and parents). The Victorian Government believes it is important that organisations are subject to a well-defined legal duty to prevent child abuse within organisations. Therefore, it is necessary for us to let you know the 10 national principles regarding child safety.
1. Child safety and wellbeing are embedded in organisational leadership, governance and culture.
2. Children and young people are informed about their rights, participate in decisions affecting them, and are taken seriously.
3. Families and communities are informed and involved in promoting child safety and wellbeing.
4. Equity is upheld and diverse needs respected in policy and practice.
5. People working with children and young people are suitable and supported to reflect child safety and wellbeing values in practice.
6. Processes to respond to complaints and concerns are child focused.
7. Staff and volunteers are equipped with the knowledge, skills and awareness to keep children and young people safe through ongoing education and training.
8. Physical and online environments promote safety and wellbeing while minimising the opportunity for children and young people to be harmed.
9. Implementation of the national child safe principles is regularly reviewed and improved.
10. Policies and procedures document how the organisation is safe for children and young people.
I would also like to let you know new Child Safe Standards now apply in Victoria.
Standard 1: Organisations establish a culturally safe environment in which the diverse and unique identities and experiences of Aboriginal children and young people are respected and valued.
Standard 2: Child safety and wellbeing is embedded in organisational leadership, governance and culture.
Standard 3: Children and young people are empowered about their rights, participate in decisions affecting them and are taken seriously.
Standard 4: Families and communities are informed and involved in promoting child safety and wellbeing.
Standard 5: Equity is upheld and diverse needs respected in policy and practice.
Standard 6: People working with children and young people are suitable and supported to reflect child safety and wellbeing values in practice.
Standard 7: Processes for complaints and concerns are child focused.
Standard 8: Staff and volunteers are equipped with the knowledge, skills and awareness to keep children and young people safe through ongoing education and training.
Standard 9: Physical and online environments promote safety and wellbeing while minimising the opportunity for children and young people to be harmed.
Standard 10: Implementation of the Child Safe Standards is regularly reviewed and improved.
Standard 11: Policies and procedures document how the organisation is safe for children and young people.
A safe learning environment is critical for delivering teaching on campus and the wellbeing of all the students. We need the understanding, support and participation of every community member.
