Bullying is real. In Grade Six we equip our children to identify what bullying really is, what it is not, as well as the different types of bullying.
Cyberbullying is a hot topic for discussion as this is so relevant to this generation. Pitfalls of Social Media, preventing cyberbullying and responding to cyberbullying are but a few topics that are under discussion in Thematic Studies.
Our kids are also encouraged to do some self-reflection to see if they are being bullies themselves. Reasons for why they bully, as well as how to stop being a bully, equips them to understand themselves and to become better individuals who others enjoy being around.
We are fortunate to be part of a school where many plans are in place in order to combat bullying.
