The ultimate goals are to create workshops and go into feeder schools targeting grade 6's.<br />
Three surveys are planned for the Bullying Initiative: student, faculty and parents. 1,200<br />
<strong>Thornlea</strong> students participated in a bullying survey one week ago. Faculty survey had 70<br />
questions. Considerable talk over proposed parent survey: David Selby proposed 15<br />
questions - 70 way too much. Also concern about language barriers. Shawn stated there is<br />
a need for at least 200 parents to participate in the survey to have valid statistics.<br />
Suggestions were made as to how to contact parents - bulletins, podcasts, on website, etc.<br />
Shawn to report back in January.<br />
