Dear Parents/Guardians of First Year students, Some serious incidents of bullying of First Year students via various social media platforms have been reported. Some students have set up SNAPCHAT groups for the tutor group and we would ask you to remove your child from these immediately. The TIKTOK platform has also been used to bully students. In the interest of student safety and good practice, please monitor the social media platforms your son/daughter is using and encourage respectful and responsible usage at all times and discourage bullying of others in any form. Thank you for your support in this very serious matter. Ms. McGee Guidance Department.
