When there is concern from a parent at St Anthony’s in relation to their child, we encourage parents to address their concern to the appropriate person in the school in the first instance by providing clear information and stating the facts. This helps facilitate a full and informed discussion of all sides of an issue and leads to a satisfactory outcome for all involved.
All staff at St Anthony’s are committed to positive, open and caring relationships which are important to our school community. When anyone in this community has a cause for concern, we are committed to dealing positively with concerns quickly, fairly and as harmoniously as possible.
