This year's National Child Protection week is from 1-7 September. The aim of the week is to engage members of the community in supporting families and protecting children. 

In 2019, National Child Protection week focuses on introducing a child development communication frame to promote the messages that:

• Kids do well when parents are supported
• To raise thriving kids, parents need support to navigate life’s choppy waters

At St Francis Catholic College, we are constantly working to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all students in our care. Our pastoral and teaching and learning programs provide multiple opportunities for students to learn about safe and protective behaviours. 

Throughout the week, all students will participate in a reflection and prayer on this significant issue that affects all communities, particularly our schools.
