How we define bullying in our school
Our NCS definition of bullying
We believe that bullying is a deliberate attempt to hurt others, either mentally, physically or verbally, and is repetitive. (This means it happens on more than one occasion)
We use V.I.P to define bullying – this means verbal, indirect or physical.
Some examples of verbal bullying are:
- name calling
- swearing
- spreading rumours.
Some examples of indirect bullying are:
- vandalising property
- leaving you out of games on purpose.
Some examples of physical bullying are:
- punching
- kicking
- pinching
We think that bullying can be in person, or in the form of cyber bullying (this is online and can be via text messaging and social media apps)
Bullies sometimes try to intentionally hurt others on the sly so that it is hard for other people to notice.
Our Pledge
As anti-bullying ambassadors we will try to identify if a peer is being bullied, and will speak to an appropriate grown up. We will support our peers to make friends, have someone to play with and feel safe at NCS.
If you need a buddy we are always here.
