South Island School has an Anti-Bullying Policy which applies to all students.

We believe that every student at South Island School has the basic entitlement to enjoy life at school, free from the sort of behaviour which is classed as bullying.

Anti-bullying Code at SIS

• All students at South Island School have the right to enjoy their learning and leisure free from intimidation, both in School and in the surrounding community

• Our School community will not tolerate any unkind comments, name-calling or threats, even if these were not intended to hurt. This includes communication online.

• Students should support each other by reporting all incidents of bullying

• Bullying will be dealt with seriously

• We are a ‘telling’ school because bullying is too important not to be reported

If you see someone being bullied, or if you are experiencing bullying, let a teacher, parent or a trusted adult know.
