Anti-bullying Officers
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute."— Proverbs 31:8
As part of Anti-bullying week 2024
the Anti-bullying officers urged everyone to think about how we can
‘Choose Respect’
instead of bullying, and how we can role model this behaviour.
The Anti-bullying officers gave an explanation of 'respect'.
Respect is one of our Ruby Red Rules. Respect is about showing that you value someone, including valuing their feelings, views, and opinions, even if they differ from yours. We should also have respect for everything in and around our school.
The Anti-bullying officers gave an explanation of what bullying is.
The repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological.It can happen face to face or online.
The Anti-Bullying officers role played 2 scenarios to help everyone think about how to be respectful.
In everyday life, we can choose to be rude, to bully OR to show people respect.
A reminder was given to everyone about how to respond to unkind behaviour:
NO! GO! TELL!
It was explained that if we choose kindness and respect, we can make others feel welcomed and happy at school.
At our school, we value each other and it is important to make the right choices by showing respect to everyone.
If you are seen being kind to someone in school, you will be asked to put a kindness ball in the postbox. When the postbox is full, the whole school will receive a treat.
