Children’s Charter
Each child should realise the importance of caring, respecting others’ happiness, possessions, peace of mind, welfare and appreciating how these things are precious.
Each child should be looked upon by others as one who is loved and cared for by someone else – each is either a son or a daughter and perhaps a brother or sister, boyfriend or girlfriend – a loved one very special and extremely precious.
Each child should appreciate that each is just as important as the other.
Each child has the right to happiness and peace of mind while at school and travelling to and from school.
Bullies should imagine how their behaviour could evolve in later life; what kind of adult/parent would they develop into; what would their children be like; how can they change, improve; how do they see the behaviour of others in the world around them – for example in their family, friends, on television – how would they imagine these people to be when they were at school.
Bullies are those who do unkind things – there must be something negative in their lives which makes them behave this way; bullies should consider “What has made me what I am?” – family backgrounds, friends, unpleasant experiences, other influences, etc.
Bullying is a destructive energy – bullies should have these negative energies channelled into something more constructive.
Each child should be encouraged to identify and report any safety hazard which could affect not only themselves but also others. Staff should also be encouraged to do the same.
Parents have the right to happiness and peace of mind concerning their children while their children are at school and travelling to and from school.
