Bullying Policy

We believe that every student should enjoy our school equally, feel safe, secure, and be accepted regardless of colour, race, gender, popularity, ability, intelligence, religion and nationality. Bullying can be pushing, shoving, hitting and spitting as well as name calling, making fun of, laughing at and excluding someone. Bullying causes pain and stress to victims and is never justified or excusable inside or outside school. The victim is never responsible for being the target of bullying.

This school will not tolerate any behavior that is classified under the anti-bullying policy as bullying and will take firm steps to eliminate such behavior.

Students must not engage in cyber bullying activities such as -

1. Sending or posting embarrassing pictures or videos through text messages, email, facebook or websites.
2. Creating fake profiles. Students must report any suspicion of cyber bullying to a teacher or administrator as outlined in the bullying section of this handbook.
