Upstander

Be an Upstander not a Bystander

 

Did you know?

 

Peers are present as onlookers in 86% of bullying interactions, and play a central role in the bullying process.

 

At Fairhills High School our aim is to create an Upstander environment.  An Upstander is a person who sees something wrong and acts to make it right.  We want to empower the silent majority to become the Upstander majority. 

In doing so our Upstanders will:

  • have the confidence to stand up to those who bully others
  • be able to support others who are being bullied or harassed

Bullying Response Process

The school will also implement the following process to ensure: 

  • consistency of practice
  • natural justice/student voice
  • the appropriate responses are implemented to prevent further bullying
