Bullying Awareness Day – Monday, 22nd January

Bullying Awareness Day

Monday, 22nd January 2018

Mr Graham Mullhern (BeSecure online) discussed appropriate online behaviour with our 2nd Years and Mr Liam Challenor (National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre, DCU) spoke to our 3rd to 6th Years about the challenges and threats of cyber-bullying whether it is through;

  • snapchat Snapchat
  • instagram Instagram
  • whatsapp Whatsapp
  • facebook Facebook
  • or any other social media

The message was;

  • Not to engage in such offensive behaviour.
  • Do not be a bystander. Report offensive posts.
  • You can cause great reputational damage to yourself which could be long lasting and cost you with potential employers.
NOTHING IS PRIVATE – BE SECURE ONLINE

If you are aware of Bullying – TELL, TELL, TELL.

– BE CARING for self and others

– BE THERE for others

– BE TRUTHFUL (about what you stand for)

– BE GRATEFUL (show gratitude for those around you by respecting them).
