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. Bystanders who witness others being bullied, intimidated and threatened—and choose not to act responsibly—are complicit in the hurtful behaviour.

All community members are expected to uphold the College’s core values by demonstrating courage, compassion and integrity.
