• At Sunrise College of Technology, we believe that every child deserves more than a good education. Every child deserves to feel safe, respected, listened to and cared for.

• Inspired by the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, we place the safety, dignity and wellbeing of our students at the heart of school life. We are committed to creating an environment where young people can learn confidently, express themselves freely and develop their talents without fear of abuse, discrimination, bullying, neglect or exploitation.

• We understand that children thrive when the adults around them take their responsibilities seriously. That is why our teachers, administrators and support staff are expected to treat every student with patience, fairness, respect and care. We also encourage our students to speak up when something is wrong and to look out for one another.

At Sunrise, we are committed to:

• Providing a safe, welcoming and respectful school environment.

• Protecting students from abuse, violence, bullying, harassment, neglect and exploitation.

• Listening to students and taking their concerns seriously.

• Treating every learner with dignity, fairness and compassion.

• Promoting an inclusive environment where every child has the opportunity to succeed.

• Working closely with parents and guardians to support the wellbeing of our students.

• Acting responsibly and promptly whenever a child's safety or welfare is at risk.

Child protection is everyone's responsibility. Management, teachers, staff, parents and students all have a part to play in making Sunrise a place where children feel secure and confident enough to learn, grow and dream.
