BULLYING
Recent events throughout Nova Scotia school communities and
even in our own school communities within the Halifax Regional
School Board have made us more aware than ever of the
devastating and tragic effects of bullying.
Bullying is about human relationships, power and control.
Bullying is intentional, hurtful and repeated behavior that
intimidates, threatens harm, or victimizes another person to
make the victim feel weaker.
Some of the ways bullying behaviors differ from inappropriate
behaviors are:
·Bullying is a repeated behavior
·Bullying is an unfair match and/or there is a power
imbalance or abuse of power
·Bullying is intentional and hurtful behavior
·The behavior is intended to threaten, intimidate, or
victimize someone
If you believe you are being bullied or if you believe a
friend or classmate is being bullied, tell an adult - report the
incident to your principal, vice-principal or school counselor.

The Student-Parent Portal is now available to our
school community.
Access to the parent portal will give you "real-time"
access to your son/daughter's grades, assignments, attendance,
teacher's comments, and school bulletins through the Internet using
the Student-Parent Portal website. Parent and Student logins
will be available again in the fall.
