The Importance of Speaking Up  Havergal College is committed to providing a healthy school environment that is nurturing, caring  and respectful of everyone. If a student has been bullied, intimidated or threatened, she needs to  confide in an adult at the school. If a student witnesses an act of peer bullying, intimidation or  threats, she is a bystander and as such is expected to take steps to help. If the school is not aware  of an incident, it cannot act. A student is not tattling by contacting an adult; she is, in fact,  upholding Havergal College’s core values by demonstrating courage, compassion and integrity.   No one has the right to bully, intimidate or threaten another person. Bystanders who witness  others being bullied, intimidated and threatened—and choose not to act responsibly—are  complicit in the hurtful behaviour. At Havergal, it is important for people to speak up against  intolerance, bigotry, ignorance and willfully hurtful behaviour.
