Cultural Review Progress
Ballarat Grammar commissioned an independent cultural review to better understand our School culture, what is working well, what is not working well, and what needs to change.
This review involved more than 850 members of our School community, and was conducted by workplace culture experts, Intersection. We thank our community for their participation in this process. Your honesty and courage have helped shape the path forward for our School.
The School has accepted all recommendations and will work closely with our community to implement these. This page will be updated quarterly to show our progress. We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring the safety, wellbeing and dignity of every student and staff member.
You can view the executive summary, and recommendations below. If you have any questions, please contact culturalreview@bgs.vic.edu.au.
Acknowledgement of Country
Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn, live and work, the Wadawurrung People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
Commitment to Child Safety
Ballarat Grammar maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of child abuse and actively implements measures to identify and manage any risks of harm to students within our school environment. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people are central and fundamental responsibilities of the School. We are firmly committed to fostering a child-safe culture that provides an environment where students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices heard in decisions that affect their lives. Ballarat Grammar values diversity and strictly prohibits any racist or discriminatory practices. All members of our school community share the responsibility to care for children and young people by promptly raising any concerns regarding their safety, promoting their wellbeing, and protecting them from all forms of harm or abuse.
