Our Commitment

At Zhonghua Primary School, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, competent and empowered in their learning journey. We are committed to creating a caring and enabling school environment where all students can flourish and develop positive relationships with their peers.

Our approach focuses on teaching kindness, empathy, and respect whilst addressing any hurtful behaviour that may arise. We work together as a school community – staff, students, and parents – to ensure everyone feels they belong.

What is bullying?

Bullying involves persistent and intentional hurtful acts. It can take various forms as follows:

  • Verbal: Name-calling, spreading rumours, or making threats

  • Social exclusion: Deliberately leaving someone out, or encouraging others to ignore someone

  • Physical actions: Pushing, hitting, or damaging someone's belongings

  • Cyber bullying: Using online technology like phones, computers, or social media to hurt or embarrass others on purpose and repeatedly

The school’s firm stance against hurtful behaviours

The school takes a firm stance against all forms of hurtful behaviours, from once-off, insensitive comments to persistent intentional acts of bullying and physical violence.
