Today is the first day of Bullying awareness week.
As a school, we recognize the harm that is caused by students who engage in bullying behaviours and work hard to provide a safe environment for all of our students.
According to the Ministry of Education:
Bullying is typically a form of repeated, persistent, and aggressive behaviour directed at an individual or individuals that is intended to cause (or should be known to cause) fear and distress and/or harm to another person's body, feelings, self-esteem, or reputation.
Bullying occurs in a context where there is a real or perceived power imbalance.
Bullying can take many forms. It can be:
- physical – hitting, shoving, stealing, or damaging property
- verbal – name calling, mocking, or making sexist, racist, or homophobic comments
- social – excluding others from a group or spreading gossip or rumours about them
- electronic (commonly known as cyberbullying) – spreading rumours and hurtful comments through the use of e-mail, cellphones, social media websites and text messaging
Parents may wish to learn more about how they can help their children if they feel that they are being bullied. I've included a brochure from the Ministry to assist you.
If your believe that your child is the victim of bullying, please do not hesitate to contact the school. Together, we can make a difference!
