well as name calling, picking on, making fun of, laughing at and excluding someone.
Bullying causes pain and stress to victims and is never justified or excusable as “kids
being kids”, “just teasing”, or any other rationalization. The victim is never
responsible for being a target of bullying. This school will not tolerate any behavior
that is classified as bullying and will take steps to eliminate such behavior.
One of the programs of the Department of Education is to have a child friendly
school. In order to have this, the school must be free from any violence to the children
and must have a fear free environment. The policies below ensure the safety of the
pupils in our school and community.
