5109 - CYBER BULLYING IN SCHOOLS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Education
  1. What steps is the Minister taking to prevent cyber bulling in New South Wales schools?
  2. What programs are being offered to assist schools and parents to help children at risk?
Answer -

(1) and (2) I'm advised that all New South Wales public schools are required to develop an anti-bullying plan that incorporates prevention, early intervention and response strategies to student bullying, including cyber bullying.

Through the Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) key learning area, students from Kindergarten to Year 12 learn skills to prevent and protect themselves from cyber bullying in the broader context of online safety.

Principals and school staff make decisions about additional programs and resources that will support curriculum implementation. These can include resources for example from the Office of the Children's eSafety Commissioner and conflict resolution programs such as peer mediation.
