Safeguarding is everything we do in school to keep children safe, healthy, happy, and therefore learning.

At Sancta Maria, safeguarding children is not only for their immediate well-being, but also for their long-term physical, emotional, and cognitive development. It is a shared responsibility among educators, administrators, parents, and the community to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential.
