School reviews bullying measures

Woy Woy South Public School participated in the National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence on Friday, March 15.

Principal Mr Terry Greedy said schools were instructed to review their anti-bullying plan and convey this plan to the school community.

"In line with this directive our school plan has been reviewed and refined by the school executive to hopefully make the strategies and procedures we have in place more effective in fighting this growing problem that continues to affect all walks of life," said Mr Greedy.

"One of the most significant findings to come out of the research gathered is the fact that the most successful programs are generally based on collaboration between parents and the school.

"When dealing with the victims or the bullies, throughout all stages of the process, parents will be kept informed of any actions being taken.

"In this way we hope to provide the necessary support for all parties and make it easier for parents to work from home to support the actions taken by the school," said Mr Greedy.
