Bullying

dadsclub80x86 Dads, this has been written from a student perspective so you can easily pass it directly on to your child. We recommend you read and act accordingly.

If you are the victim of bullying it is important you stand up and seek help. It is not OK to be bullied and you don’t have to put up with it.

YOU HAVE RIGHTS
You have every right to feel safe, especially at school. Your school will have policies in place to address bullying, so you can do any of the following:

  • Talk to a school counselor or teacher and ask them to help you do something about it
  • Tell your parents so they can talk to the school about it
  • Tell your teachers or the principal, so they can address the bully/bullies
  • Keep telling people, until someone helps you
