蘑菇视频

At 蘑菇视频, we are continuing to build a positive,听inclusive听and safe learning environment through our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) framework. This term, our whole-school focus is on bullying and cyberbullying education, with an emphasis on Respect, Engagement and Resilience.听

• Across all year levels, students have been explicitly taught how to:听

• 搁别肠辞驳苍颈蝉别听产耻濒濒测颈苍驳听产别丑补惫颈辞耻谤蝉听

• Understand the difference between bullying and conflict听

• Identify听their role as a bystander or upstander听
• Know how and where to seek help听

Students are learning that bullying is repeated behaviour intended to cause harm, often involving a power imbalance, and that it can occur both in person and online. They are also exploring the impact that bullying has on learning,听wellbeing听and school culture.听

A strong focus of our learning has been supporting students to become ‘upstanders’ 鈥� young people who show courage by:听

• Speaking up when something is not respectful听

• Supporting peers who may be targeted听

• Reporting concerns to trusted adults听

Importantly, students are also learning that:听

• Bullying听behaviours听are not acceptable at 蘑菇视频听

• Online behaviour outside of school can still听impact听student wellbeing and school culture, and will be responded to by the school where听required听

听

Cyberbullying and Online Safety听

As part of this focus, students have explored cyberbullying, including听behaviours听such as:听

• Sending hurtful messages听

• Sharing embarrassing or private images听

• Spreading听rumours听online听

• Excluding others from group chats听

• Creating fake accounts or impersonating others听

Students are also explicitly taught that:听

• Forwarding听intimate images without consent is illegal听

• Sharing images involving young people can have serious legal consequences听

This learning is not about fear, but about helping students make safe,听respectful听and informed choices online.听

听

How Parents Can Support at Home听

Families play听an important role听in reinforcing these messages. Below are some practical ways to support your child:听

• Start open, regular conversations听

• Ask your young person听about their online interactions and friendships听

• Use a calm, curious approach (e.g.听鈥淲hat kind of group chats are popular at the moment?鈥�)听

• Reinforce respectful behaviour听

• Remind your young听person: 鈥淚f it鈥檚 not respectful, it鈥檚 not acceptable鈥澨�

• Discuss the impact of small actions such as liking or sharing hurtful content听

• Encourage help-seeking听

• Regularly check: 鈥淲ho would you go to if something听wasn鈥檛听okay?鈥澨�

• Reinforce that reporting is about safety, not getting others in trouble听

• Support safe online habits听

• Think before posting or sharing听

• Avoid听participating听in harmful group chats听

• Block/report inappropriate behaviour听

• Be aware that many platforms are not designed for younger users and are听prohibited听for under 16s 鈥撎齯nfortunately听many of the social conflicts we are responding to involve students using social media apps such as Snapchat which they should not have access to听

• Respond calmly if issues arise听

• Listen without judgment听

• Help them record (screenshots) and report concerns听

• Work in partnership with the school to support resolution听

听

Working in Partnership听

At 蘑菇视频, we are committed to ensuring that every student feels safe at all times.听We encourage families to continue reinforcing these conversations at home and to reach out to the College if you have any concerns.听

Students are reminded that support is always available through:听

• Trusted teachers and Year Level Leaders听

• School Counsellors and WELCOM team听

• External supports such as Kids Helpline and the听eSafety听Commissioner听

Together, we can build a culture where all young people feel safe,听respected听and supported 鈥� both at school and online.听
