This week we celebrate Anti Bullying Week. The theme for this year's anti bullying week is CHANGE STARTS WITH US. Our P7 class led us in our assembly this morning by explaining what Bullying Behaviour is and what we can do to stop it. St. Brigid's follows the definition of Bullying behaviour as deemed by the Addressing Bullying in Schools Act. This Act states that Bullying includes (but is not limited to) the repeated use of
a. Any verbal, written or electronic communication
b. Any other act (including omission), or
c. Any combination of those, by a pupil or a group of pupils against another pupil or group of pupils, with the intention of causing physical or emotional harm to that pupil or group of pupils.
Bullying is behaviour that is usually repeated, which is carried out intentionally to cause hurt, harm or to adversely affect the rights and needs of another or others.
We will spend lots of time this week exploring bullying situations and solutions. School staff will be looking out for Friendship ambassadors throughout our school. These children will be chosen on Friday and will receive a special recognition award.
