ANTI-BULLYING POLICY
The Bucayab Elementary School, Bauang South District is committed to each learner’s
success in learning within a caring, responsive, and safe environment that is free of violence
and bullying. Our school works to ensure that all students have the opportunity and support to
develop to their fullest potential and share a personal and meaningful bond with people in the
school community.
What is bullying?
Bullying is an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated
verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that intends to cause physical, social and/or
psychological harm. It can involve an individual or a group misusing their power, or
perceived power, over one or more persons who feel unable to stop it from happening.
Bullying can happen in person or online, via various digital platforms and devices and it can
be obvious (overt) or hidden (covert). Bullying behaviour is repeated, or has the potential to
be repeated, over time (for example, through sharing of digital records).
Bullying of any form or for any reason can have immediate, medium and long-term effects on
those involved, including bystanders. Single incidents and conflict or fights between equals,
whether in person or online, are not defined as bullying.

We will use some or all of the following to help raise awareness and prevent bullying. As
and when appropriate, these may include:

related activities
