BULLYING SURVEY

There is no doubt that bullying is a serious issue that all schools face. However, every school has its own processes for reporting, recording and responding to bullying.

Here at Macleans College we are endeavouring to revise and improve our school-wide approach to addressing bullying. This begins at a policy level but also involves identifying and understanding student voice on the issue.

To go about this we have created a confidential and anonymous online survey for students to fill out. This term we will focus on attaining junior student voice on bullying. The questions in the survey are aimed at highlighting student knowledge of bullying and the students experience of how bullying is managed here at Macleans College.
