Respect Everyone

Respect everyone from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Why not spend time with friends with a different ethnic background to you and learn more about their culture?

Everyone has the right not to be bullied. You have the right not to feel scared or picked on! 

Bullying takes on many forms such as

• Name calling
• Hitting/punching
• Theft of property
• Damage of property
• Rumour spreading
• Intimidation
  
  Don't put up with it, take control and follow our "beat the bully" guidelines!
  
  STEP 1 - Tell a friend, tell your parents and tell your teacher.
  STEP 2 - Keep records.  Make notes of everything that happens.
  STEP 3 - Take back the power!  Take back the power from them by acting more confident, hanging around with friends or a supervisor during breaks and most of all, don't fight back and don't show them they're getting to you.
  STEP 4 - Keep the power!  The bully is now losing his hold on you.  Feel good about this! 

Set aside a little time each week to spend with different members of your family or with different friends to find out a little more about them.

Participate in or take part in different cultural events or festivals.

Environmental issues are very important. Try to take care of the world around you. Recycling is a good place to start!

Christmas is just one time of year when different faiths do and mean different things. Why not try and find out a little bit more about different faith groups.

Try to make a new friend. If someone at school looks lonely why not see if you can spend a little time with them and try to cheer them up.
