Congratulations to the students who achieved their certificates last week!

Telling Vs Dobbing

Telling vs Dobbing 

With our Excellence Upstander goal, we've been doing some work clarifying the difference between telling and dobbing. Students should use the No-Go-Tell process when they see problem behaviour. Telling is brave while dobbing can frustrate and embarrass your friends and classmates without need. 

Telling is... 

• about major problem behaviour where someone could or did get hurt, 
• when you already tried to deal with it yourself and it didn't work 
• and when you quietly tell a teacher

Dobbing is... 

• trying to get someone in trouble, 
• out loud in front of others
• and when you didn't already try to solve it yourself.

This is a complex idea and sometimes we get it wrong! We found the Bluey episode Swim School really helpful: https://www.bluey.tv/watch/season-2/swim-school/ Why not watch it together at home and have a chat about it?
