Schools are aware of the potential harmful effects of bullying, including online bullying (cyberbullying) on young people and take reports of bullying seriously.
While all Australian school communities are different and each student's circumstances are individual, there are some general actions schools take to address bullying.
The primary aim of the school's response is to restore a positive learning environment for all students.
Positive responses are based on the understanding that children and young people are in the process of learning how to be a member of the school and wider community.
