Bullying
Bellevue Park State School does not tolerate bullying in any form, and we use a range of proactive strategies to deal with bullying behaviour.
All students and parents are encouraged to raise concerns they have with the school immediately so that action can be taken to address the problem.
Strategies for addressing bullying, including cyber bullying, can be found in the Responsible Behaviour Plan.

Cyber safety
Today’s students live and breathe technology—many know more about it and are more comfortable using it than you are. They can use it to do almost anything they want, anywhere and at any time. And like you, primary school children use technology to chat with friends and family, play games and for learning too.
While technology is great, there are a few things kids need to think about every time they go online.
To help them understand and remember them, we teach the 5Ps for a positive digital footprint.
5Ps for a positive digital footprint
The program has 5 key messages that cover what is and isn’t okay when working online:
Profiles — use a nickname and profile picture that doesn’t show your face
Positive — make sure online information about you is as positive as possible
Permission — make sure you have a grown-up’s permission to use a new site or app
Privacy — keep your passwords and personal details secure
Protect — keep evidence and don’t bully back, tell someone.
Please visit the link below to a video that covers some of the key online safety issues for children which includes a range of practical tips and advice on how to navigate parental controls. You can also find a list of important services that can offer extra support.
