The Importance of Speaking Up Havergal College is committed to providing a healthy College environment that is nurturing, caring and respectful of everyone. If a student has been bullied, intimidated or threatened, they need to confide in an adult at the College. If a student witnesses an act of peer bullying, intimidation or threats, they are a bystander and as such are expected to take steps to help. If the College 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. At the College, it is important for people to speak up against intolerance, bigotry, ignorance and willfully hurtful behaviour. All community members are expected to uphold the College’s core values by demonstrating integrity, inquiry, compassion and courage.
