Bullying In Schools
Our school is currently reviewing its Anti-Bullying Policy.
Here are some resources I have been accessing while I have been reflecting upon survey data and Government recommendations for reviewing our policy:
Four Corners - The Bullies' Playground
This website also includes a link to an excellent resources page that lists current media reports relating to bullying along with background reading and services available to support.
Seaforth Public School is mentioned in the program as having developed an innovative Anti-Bullying policy, it can be found here.
The Cooling Conflicts program involves using drama techniques to examine identifiable of conflict and to offer participating students to deal with conflicty. It involves conflict management rather than conflict resolution. It is particularly effective in dealing with cross-cultural conflict.
Brainstorm Productions conduct dramatic presentations that address different types of bullying. Ideal as a launch or follow up to the introduction of school based strategies to reduce bullying.
Cybernetrix internet safety education resource, produced by the Australian government. Aimed at year 7 onwards, but as we know, issues around child internet usage and approaches are constantly changing and some of these activities may be applicable to Stage 3.
Bullying no way!
The NSW Boys and Girls Education Strategy.Friendly Schools evidence-based school resources and professional development.
Mind Matters dealing with bullying and harassment - a whole school approach. The booklet can be downloaded here.
