St. Aloysius Gonzaga Formally Recognizes

  Bullying Awareness Week 

~November 15-21, 2009~

Bullying is a conscious, willful, deliberate, hostile and repeated behaviour by one or more people, which tries to hurt or control another person in a harmful way. Bullying happens in many forms: physical, verbal, nonverbal, malicious gossiping, racial and sexual harassment, cyber bullying and exclusion. Bullying Awareness Week is an opportunity for our school community to continue to be aware of our individual and communal responsibility to stand up, speak out and break free from for bullying.  

Facts:

wApproximately 85 per cent of bullying episodes occur in the context of a peer group;

wBullying is a universal problem that affects people directly or indirectly, regardless of their age, gender, culture, religion or nationality;

wBy age 24, 60 per cent of people who were childhood bullies have at least one criminal conviction.     

On behalf of the St. Aloysius Gonzaga Safe School Team, we hereby proclaim the week of November 15 – 21, 2009 as:

“Bullying Awareness Week”
