Bullying Prevention and Intervention Week
Every year we hold a Bullying Prevention and Intervention Week which takes place on the third week of November. This week-long event helps to increase education, awareness and outreach of bullying and inappropriate behaviour.
Our policies and procedures
To help prevent bullying at school, we have created policies and procedures that each school must follow:
- Actively communicate policies, procedures and guidelines to staff, students, families and broader members of the school community.
- Review policies, procedures and guidelines and include the school community in this process to build upon and sustain a positive school climate.
- Review guidelines and procedures or develop new ones to address discrimination and harassment as they may apply to students, staff, families and community members.
- Outline roles and responsibilities of the school community, including students, staff, families and community members.
- Ensure goals address areas of challenge, as identified in school climate surveys and other relevant data.
