Students found to be bullying face a range of consequences from a formal interview with a staff member to losing their place at St Patrick’s College. All incidents will be placed on record in the Bullying Register. Any retaliation against someone who reports bullying will be dealt with very seriously.

Consequences include

• recording on the Bullying Register, held by the Deputy Principal.
• formal interview with key staff.
• parent notification and involvement.
• counselling.
• restitution for any damage to property or personal possessions
• detention.
• suspension (for serious offences or persistent inappropriate behaviour.)
• exclusion (for aggravated or persistent serious bullying.)
