Rosebank College is committed to providing a safe and nurturing culture and learning environment for all children and young people. At all times, the ongoing safety and wellbeing of children and young people in its care remains the primary focus of decision making.
The College created the CARES program to provide students with easy access to a confidential, online reporting system via the Student Portal. Students who may not wish to engage a staff member directly for assistance or advice are encouraged to access CARES and click on the “Speak Out” icon to communicate their concerns about their own issues, or those of a fellow student.
