Thirroul Public School's Anti-Bullying Policy and Plan 2020
Bullying is repeated verbal, physical, social or psychological behaviour that is harmful and involves the misuse of power by an individual or group towards one or more persons. Cyber bullying refers to bullying through information and communication technologies.
The NSW Department of Education and Communities rejects all forms of bullying. No Student, employee, parent, caregiver or community member should experience bullying within the learning or working environments of the Department.
Preventing and responding to bullying behaviour in learning and working environments is a shared responsibility of all department staff, students, parents, caregivers and members of the wider community.
