Safety and Violence Prevention
At Christchurch Boys’ High School, we prioritise creating a safe and inclusive environment where every student can thrive. Our approach to safety and violence prevention is rooted in mutual respect, open communication, and proactive support for students and their whānau.
Building a Culture of Respect
We foster a culture that values manaakitanga and inclusion. Through our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) framework, we encourage students to demonstrate respect for themselves, their peers, and their school community. By modelling respectful behaviours, we aim to prevent bullying, harassment, and any forms of violence.
Prevention Programmes and Initiatives
- Restorative Practices: Encouraging open dialogue to resolve conflicts and rebuild trust.
- Digital Citizenship Education: Helping students navigate the online world responsibly, recognising and addressing cyberbullying.
- Peer Support Programmes: Senior students mentor younger students, fostering connection and guidance.
Recognising and Responding to Concerns
Collaborating with Whānau and Community
Support Services
- Counselling Services: Available on-site to provide emotional and mental health support.
- Wellbeing Resources: Tailored materials and workshops on managing stress, conflict, and maintaining positive relationships.
Taking Action Together
By working collaboratively with students, staff, whānau, and the wider community, we are committed to upholding a safe and nurturing school environment. Violence in any form is unacceptable, and together, we can prevent it.
