Statement on equal opportunities and bullying
We, the students of Thomas Tallis School, believe we should be treated fairly by teachers and students. We also demand equal opportunities for everyone. By fairness and equal opportunities we mean:
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES MEANS THAT NO STUDENT AT THOMAS TALLIS SCHOOL SHOULD BE MADE TO FEEL LEFT OUT. EACH ONE OF US SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WELLBEING OF OTHERS. WE EXPECT THE SCHOOL TO TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS. |
These are all forms of bullying:
Verbal • Name calling • Belittling comments • Making sexist, racist, cultural, religious or homophobic comments • Unpleasant comments about people’s disabilities Non verbal • Excluding a person from their friends or social groups • Dirty looks • Intimidation through gestures Physical • Hitting, shoving, pushing, tripping and barging • Demanding money • Damaging or taking a person’s property Technological • Sending intimidating or insulting comments by text, email or social media • Taking and publishing pictures and video clips without consent |
There is no such thing as a brave bully. The really brave person is the one who TELLS, rather than keeping silent. Sometimes bullies need help too. There is mediation and counselling available should they need it.
