Our PB4L focus for Week 4 is a Student Pledge to act respectfully, responsibly and safely to prevent bullying.

The pledge and the signatures will be publicly displayed in the Breakout Space

The pledge reads:
We, the students of St Patrick’s School, pledge to work together to prevent bullying by
acting respectfully, responsibly and safely.
In signing this pledge we agree to:
1. treat people kindly, the way we would like to be treated
2. include people whenever and wherever possible  
3. keep our hands, feet and all our body parts to ourselves and keep objects to ourselves
4. look after the property of other people and the school 
5. keep mean and nasty words to ourselves
6. be respectful, responsible and safe online 

We would very much appreciate your discussing these weekly PB4L focuses with your
children and reviewing the expected and non-acceptable behaviours in our endeavour to see that St Patrick’s is a more respectful, responsible and safe learning community for all.
