FROM DR ROBERTS Our next Board meeting will be held this evening beginning at 6:00pm in the Hawker Hub. This meeting will be our Annual
The care of each and every individual person is paramount at Hawker Park Primary. Our school aims to provide support and guidance for the development of the whole child.
We have an established Student Support team consisting of the Principal, the Students at Educational Risk Co-ordinator, the school Psychologist and the Chaplain. This team meets weekly to discuss any needs that may have become apparent to the class teacher who then provides this information to the support team.
The support team then provides guidance to the class teacher and parents for the benefit of the student.
School Chaplain
The role of the School Chaplain is to:
This program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education under the National School Chaplaincy and Student Welfare Program.
Disclaimer: The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of the Australian Government Department of Education.
The school is a caring community with everyone having responsibilities towards each other. Each person has a right to an education in a school where they feel cared for, valued and safe. Bullying is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

PREVENTATIVE STRATEGIES
The school aims to:
GUIDELINES FOR RESPONDING TO INCIDENT
1. Victims of bullying and harassment will be supported.
2. Address the cause of the bully’s actions.
3. Parents will be informed of details pertaining to particular incidents as they arise and have access to all relevant information.
4. The Counselling Approach procedure will be used when interviewing both victim and bully. In dealing with incidents as they arise the principle of changing student behaviour is always more important than punishing behaviour.
5. Outside agencies such as School Psychologists, Chaplain etc can be called in to assist.
6. If bullying continues, measures such as Suspension and Exclusion will be considered and used. (see guidelines for Suspension & Exclusion)
BULLYING POLICY
COUNSELLING APPROACH
Step One – Interview with the victim
When the teacher finds out that bullying has happened he/she starts by talking to the victim about the incident. He/she needs to know who was involved.
Step Two – Convene a meeting with the people involved
The teacher arranges to meet with the student group who have been involved, excluding the victim. This will include those who joined in but did not initiate any bullying.
Step Three – Explain the problem
Tell students how the victim may be feeling i.e. the consequences of their actions for the victim. Do not discuss details of the incidents as this can deteriorate into an argument.
Step Four – Share responsibility
The teacher does not attribute blame but states that he/she knows that the group is responsible and can do something about it.
Step Five – Ask the group for their ideas
Each member of the group is encouraged to help solve the problem by suggesting ways in which the victim could be helped to feel happier.
Step Six – Changing behaviour
The teacher ends the meeting by stressing to the group their responsibility to change their behaviour. He/she arranges to meet with them again to see how things are going.
Step Seven – Meet the people involved again
About a week later the teacher individually discusses with each student, including the victim, how things have been going. This allows the teacher to monitor the bullying and keeps the students involved in the process.
