Bullying Prevention at JPS

At Jindabyne Public School, we take bullying seriously and are committed to fostering a culture of respect and resilience among our students and school community.

After successfully introducing the Backflips Against Bullying program in 2023, this year we had the pleasure of hosting the team from Backflips Against Bullying for another action-packed performance. Through engaging Parkour and Acrobatics, they covered important topics like Resilience, Self-Reflection, and Cyber-Bullying, ensuring our students are informed and empowered to create a harassment-free school environment.

The key messages from the performance are reinforced with classroom activities, helping to maintain our strong stance against bullying. Check out our highlight video to see how our students were captivated by the interactive show, featuring some impressive improvisational acting skills from our very own students.

Every child has the right to come to school feeling safe

At Jindabyne Public School we reject all forms of bullying.  Our goal is to:

• Educate young people on the impacts of bullying and help them make wise, respectful choices when facing conflict with others
• Create a safe environment where students know they can get help and be supported if bullying occurs
• Work closely with our community to be proactive around bullying and harrasment in the Jindabyne community

Bullying prevention at JPS occurs through:

• Understanding bullying - Find out more about what bullying is, what bullying is not, and how JPS combats bullying issues in and around the school community
• Supporting students - find resources for parents who may have children experiencing bullying in or out of school

Support can also be found at the school through the following contacts:

• talk to your child's classroom teacher or the Assistant Principal of their Stage
• In situations where you have immediate and grave concerns for the wellbeing of your child, contact the Principal
