SJC Anti-Bullying Policy

St Johannes College is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where all students are treated with dignity and respect. Bullying of any kind is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated within our school community. This policy outlines our collective framework for preventing, identifying, and responding effectively to bullying behaviors.

1. Understanding & Defining Bullying

Bullying is defined as the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. It can happen face-to-face or through digital platforms.

2. Proactive Prevention Strategies

SJC adopts a multi-layered approach to foster a school culture built on empathy, kindness, and communal accountability:

• Curriculum Integration: Bullying issues, values education, and digital citizenship are actively taught through Assemblies, Life Education classes, and regular class teacher periods.
• Supervision & Vigilance: Staff members maintain high alertness and continuous monitoring during recess, lunch hours, and transition times across all school areas.
• Empowering Bystanders: Students are taught to recognize bullying behavior and are trained to safely intervene or report incidents immediately, shifting from “passive bystanders” to “active defenders.”

3. Reporting Procedures and Support

When an incident of suspected bullying is reported, the school will act swiftly and follow structured disciplinary and counseling protocols to ensure long-term resolution:

• Immediate Intervention: The incident will be investigated thoroughly by the Class Teacher, Discipline Team, or School Counsellor. Evidence and interviews will be documented objectively.
• Supportive Guidance (Self-Tuning):
  • For the Victim: Safe spaces, immediate reassurance, and ongoing counseling to rebuild confidence and social security.
  • For the Perpetrator: Structured intervention to help them understand the impact of their actions, take responsibility, and correct their behavioral patterns.
• Parental Engagement: Parents of all involved parties will be informed promptly. SJC works collaboratively with families to build joint supportive strategies between home and school.
• Escalation and Review: Serious or persistent incidents will be escalated directly to the Deputy Principal and Principal. Progressive disciplinary measures will be enforced fairly and firmly in accordance with school regulations.

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Digital Learning & AI Integration

This prestigious award recognizes students who demonstrate exemplary behavior and academic excellence. To be eligible, students must be recipients of the Top Scholar Award (Top 3 in the weighted average of all subjects in their grade) and maintain a conduct grade of A- or above. These students serve as role models for their peers through their dedication, integrity, and positive attitude both inside and outside the classroom.

4. Behavior and Conduct Award

This award honors students who exemplify outstanding character traits such as respect, kindness, responsibility, and leadership within the school community. Recipients must maintain a conduct grade of A or above and actively contribute to creating a supportive and positive learning environment.

Nominations for this award will be made by the class teacher based on the student’s day-to-day behavior and interactions. The nominations will then be reviewed and confirmed by the Deputy Principal and Principal to ensure consistency and fairness. This award reinforces the importance of good citizenship and social skills, recognizing students who positively influence the school community.

5. External Achievement Award

Recognizing students who bring honor to the school through outstanding performance outside the school context, this award is given to students who receive at least three major awards or distinctions in external competitions, events, or activities within a term. These accomplishments may include academic contests, sports competitions, arts festivals, or community service awards, highlighting the school’s encouragement of well-rounded development.

6. Class Attainment Award

This award system promotes consistent positive behavior and participation within the classroom. Teachers award stamps in student handbooks for good conduct, effort, teamwork, and class contribution. Based on the total stamps accumulated, students are recognized through a structured tier system.

This exclusive award celebrates exceptional commitment and consistency.
