In our last newsletter, we provided you with some definitions of the difference between Rude, Mean and Bullying.

This week we would like to highlight the different types of bullying:

Bullying can happen anywhere, in person or online (cyberbullying), at any time, and can be verbal, physical or social (relational). It can be obvious or hidden.

What is bullying?

• Bullying is deliberate - harming another person intentionally

• Bullying involves a misuse of power in a relationship

• Bullying is usually not a one-off - it is repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time

Bullying involves behaviour that can cause harm - it is not a normal part of growing up. 

Let's work together as a school community to be aware of bullying and to "stamp" it out when it happens.
