XII. REFERRAL AND COUNSELING Aside from imposing a disciplinary measure commensurate to the action of the student, necessary counseling shall be accorded to the student/s since the School’s purpose is not to convict the students but to assist him/her to realize his/her misbehavior. Through this, students shall be taught to stick up for themselves and for others, feel more confident about themselves, strengthen their bully resistance skills, and build their social skills. Bullies shall be taught how to change their thinking, accept responsibility for their behavior, manage their anger, explore positive ways to feel powerful, and understand why they bully others. Intervention. The Child Protection Committee shall determine the appropriate intervention programs for the victim, the bully and bystanders.
