What this means

Dainfern College's Anti-Bullying & Anti-Racism Policy establishes a Zero Tolerance stance toward bullying and racism, defining bullying as repeated, intentional harm by those with more power and racism as belief in racial superiority with antagonistic behavior. The policy outlines rights and responsibilities for students, mandates reporting of bullying to staff or counsellors, ensures investigations and disciplinary action including expulsion for persistent cases, and emphasizes confidentiality and pastoral support. It is part of the school's broader ethos of fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment.
