- Bullying
  Definition: – Bullying is repeated aggression – verbal, psychological or physical, conducted by an individual or group against others. Principles: – The School promotes qualities of social responsibility, tolerance and understanding among all its members, both in school and out of school. The school acknowledges the uniqueness of each individual and his/her worth as a human being. The school acknowledges the right of each member of the school community to enjoy a secure learning environment. The school disapproves of vulgar, offensive, sectarian or other aggressive behaviour by any of its members. Staff members share a collegiate responsibility to act in preventing bullying / aggressive behaviour by any member of the school.
