Anaphylaxis Procedure
Anaphylaxis is potentially life threatening and always requires an emergency response. The school takes a proactive approach to dealing with this problem. In order to do this, it is essential that we have knowledge of all children in the school who are at risk of anaphylaxis together with the health care procedures in place to deal with an anaphylactic attack.

Dispute and Complaint Resolution Procedure
Catholic schools can serve as models for all within Western Australia who seek to create genuine communities. Such communities are always founded upon shared commitment to the common good (Mandate, para 6). On occasions there may be disagreement with a decision and a dispute or complaint may arise within a Catholic school. The interactions and protocols of Catholic schools emphasise the sacredness of human life and the dignity of the individual. Catholic Education is committed to ensuring that disputes and complaints are dealt with fairly, objectively and in a timely manner, and that processes reflect the principles of participation, co-responsibility and subsidiarity.

Healthy Food and Drink Procedure
The human person, though made of body and soul, is a unity... The human body shares in the dignity of the image of God: it is a human body precisely because it is animated by a spiritual soul, and it is the whole human person that is intended to become, in the body of Christ, a temple of the Spirit.

Pastoral Care is the network of care, which exists in a school. Students, staff, parents, the parish, parish priest and wider community all contribute to this care.

Positive Behaviour Engagement Procedure
Pastoral care means enhancing the dignity of each person within a Catholic faith community. Our school aims to demonstrate ‘Christian Forgiveness’. Ultimately, we aim to provide a space for our children to engage in positive behaviours rather than manage inappropriate behaviours. A Student Positive Behaviour Engagement Procedure has been developed, centred on creating positive environments, as well as addressing with inappropriate behaviours in a restorative manner.

School Fees: Setting and Collection Procedure
The Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia (CECWA) has a responsibility to make a Catholic education available to all Catholic students whose parents seek a Catholic education for them, insofar as this is possible, while embodying the Church’s preferential option for the poor and disadvantaged (Mandate page 50). Schools have a responsibility to communicate the financial constraints under which they operate to parents enrolling their children in Catholic schools. Parents are required to make a commitment to support Catholic education financially by paying fees.

Student Enrolment Procedure
