Positive Peer Relations
Every student deserves to feel safe, respected and valued
Promoting positive peer relations
KRB does not tolerate bullying. We affirm that all students, staff and parents have the right to enjoy a safe and supportive environment and to feel accepted as valued members of the school community.
The KRB Positive Peer Relations/Anti-Bullying Policy aims to reflect our Sacred Heart goals and discourage behaviour that compromises a person’s rights, self-respect, morale or capacity to work and study.
