Bullying Prevention Policy
Rouse Hill Anglican College does not tolerate bullying of any kind. Every person has the right to be treated with dignity and respect and to enjoy positive relationships with all members of the College community.
All students of the College have the right to learn and all teachers have the right to teach in a safe and caring environment that promotes self-worth and personal growth. It is the responsibility of all members of the College community to play an active part in ensuring that everyone is treated with respect.
Bullying is any form of on-going intimidation or aggression that causes discomfort, pain or embarrassment to another person. The intimidation may be physical, verbal, emotional or psychological and can include comments, gestures, text messages and exclusion. In essence, bullying involves sustained abuse by individuals or groups exerting power over another person or group. It may be direct or indirect. It may be deliberate and planned or it may be unintentional. All members of the College are expected to think carefully about the possible impacts of their actions.
Students who feel that they have been bullied are to speak with a teacher or their parents. Opportunity is provided on the College website for students, or in younger grades, their parents, to email the College via reportbullying@rhac.nsw.edu.au.
