2010 Bullying Survey Results
BULLYING SURVEY RESULTS: JUNE 2010.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The survey is administered every two years by class teachers and it asked the students to report on bullying within the school environment over the last 12 months. There were several elements that we asked the students to cooment upon withinth the survey- :
Yelled At, Name Called, Puched/Kicked, Had things thrown at me, Given hurtful notes, Had notes written about me (including electronic- SMS, social networking sites…), Excluded from games or friendship groups, Given unfriendly looks, other, None of the above and Other…
There was also a written section that asked for the names of students they had witnessed being bullied, the bullies who were doing this and where this bullying occurred. The students could present the survey anonymously.
· Returns from Kindergarten to Year 6
· Kindergarten completed by the teacher when discussing this with students,
· Year 1- Year 6 done by the students.
· 254 returns across the school population, 99 in Year 1-2, 153 in Year 3-6.
The names of the students who were identified by the children have been taken out of this publication. Staff will be implementing programs to address the issues raised.
