The Anti-Bullying Protocol at De Hoeksteen Primary School establishes clear rules, preventive measures, and intervention strategies to ensure a safe and respectful learning environment. It defines bullying behaviors, encourages open communication, and outlines a four-step resolution process, involving teachers, parents, and, when necessary, professional counselors. The protocol includes preventive education, strict anti-bullying rules, and a multi-phase response system ranging from warnings to potential suspension or expulsion in severe cases. The school is committed to supporting victims, guiding bullies toward behavioral change, and promoting a culture of respect and cooperation among students, teachers, and parents.
