BULLYING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED Students at Northmead Creative and Performing Arts High School have a happy and safe environment in which to work and socialise. Bullying is not OK! Bullying is violence! Why do people bully? Bullies are not special, not strong, not tough. In fact they usually need to appear powerful because they secretly feel weak. Bullying happens for lots of different reasons. If you are affected it’s important to know that it is not your fault. You cannot be responsible for the inappropriate behaviour of another person. What is bullying? Bullying is about one person or more exercising power over you. Bullying can be obvious, someone hitting you or threatening you, but it can also be harder to recognise, e.g. isolating you from your peers. How can you tell when someone is being bullied? There are signs that you can tell when someone is being bullied, such as: Hates going to certain places Is unhappy or feels ill at the same time every week Keeping losing their money or possessions Has mysterious cuts and bruises Has become quiet and nervous Cries at night or in secret What you do about it? If you think someone you know is being bullied, YOU can help. Here are some ideas about what you can do: Talk to Them The person being bullied may not feel able to talk to anyone about what is happening. They may feel too scared, upset or embarrassed to ask for help. Offering to talk to the person may help the person to open up and feel like they aren’t alone. Talk to Someone You Trust Letting a trusted adult know (Teacher, Year Adviser or Counsellor) may help the person who is being bullied. Stick Up For Them If you see someone being bullied you can try sticking up for them. Be careful not to make the situation worse, but let the person being bullied know that they are not alone. Ignore the Bullying The person may be doing it to get attention. So, ignore them and don’t give them an audience. Be a Good Friend Include the person in your activities. Let them know you care about them and point out all their great qualities. This is one of the best and most encouraging things you can do! We need to work as a TEAM. Together Everyone Achieves More.

DISCIPLINE POLICY The discipline policy at Northmead Creative and Performing Arts High School focuses on building self esteem, responsibility and student success. The policy is designed to build a sense of responsibility within the student, responsibility for learning and responsibility for behaviour. Green Level In any situation the student will be given two verbal warnings. If a student continues to disrupt the learning of the class, they will then be moved to a green level. This level is designed for the student to reflect on their behaviour and to choose an appropriate behaviour which will enable the class and themselves to continue learning. Yellow Level If a student is unable to adopt an appropriate behaviour, the student will then be referred to the Head Teacher. The Head Teacher will work with the student to develop an appropriate plan for behaviour before returning to the class. Students are then expected to follow the plan they have negotiated with the Head Teacher. Continued disruption to the learning environment will once again be referred to the Head Teacher. If this occurs three times, the student is then moved to a Red level. Red Level This is the time for serious reflection. The student cannot continue behaving in the same manner, as it is having a detrimental effect on learning for students and staff. This is a time to STOP and THINK. Students should contract appropriate behaviours for the classroom and playground before returning to class. Parents are notified when the Red Room is employed as a means of managing inappropriate behaviours. The school focus is LEARNING FIRST. Interruptions to learning are considered to be serious problems. Of course, the best way of managing student behaviour is to work closely with the family. If you have any concerns, do not hesitate to contact the Year Adviser, Head Teacher, Deputy Principal or Principal.
