Bullying is unacceptable at Saint Ambrose
Bullying is any deliberate, hurtful, upsetting, frightening or threatening behaviour by an individual or a group towards other people. It is repeated over a period of time and it is very difficult for the victims to defend themselves (remember STOP – it happens Several Times On Purpose). Bullying is an act of injustice; it is mean and results in worry, fear, pain and distress to the victim/s. It is contrary to the ethos and values of Saint Ambrose College which include compassion and concern for all.
Statement of Intent:
We believe
- Every person in our school is born in God’s image and likeness
- Every person in our school should grow and learn and flourish without fear
- Every person is part of our community and has the right to be respected
- Every person in our school has the responsibility to ensure that human rights are respected
- Bullying is unacceptable and will not be tolerated
- Bullying has two victims the person being bullied and the person bullying; both are worthy of compassion and need assistance
- If someone has been a victim, or has seen someone being bullied, then find a person at school and TELL them so SPEAK OUT and STAND UP against this injustice
