Bullying
The Islamic College of South Australia does not tolerate bullying in any form. All members of the School Community are committed to ensuring a safe and caring environment which promotes personal growth and positive self-esteem for all. The consequences of unacceptable behaviour are clearly stated in the Behaviour Management Policy.
The college believes that the process of dealing with bullying/harassment is critical for positive learning outcomes for all students involved. The process involves listening to the students involved, looking to the future, placing no blame. It is non-punitive. We try to reach an attitude of Shared Concern with both the bully and the bullied.
Shared Concern is about:
- Encouraging the students who are involved in the bullying to feel empathy for the student who is being bullied.
- Encouraging and supporting the students who are involved in the bullying to take responsibility for their own behaviour.
- Encouraging and supporting all students involved towards positive and constructive change.
