Harassment

Every student has the right to learn in an environment free from verbal or physical bullying, abusive behaviour or harassment. If you are involved in any of these unacceptable behaviours, you must expect disciplinary measures in line with FIS Behavior and Conduct expectations. It is very important that if you are a victim of harassment you talk to a counsellor or other trusted adult to help us stop this behaviour immediately.

Definitions:

Teasing: to make fun or provoke in a playful way (can be interpreted as harassment)
