Jigme Namgyel Lower Secondary School

❤️‍🩹 Today the School Well-being Team conducted targeted briefing sessions for students in Group 1 (Classes 4–6) and Group 2 (Classes 7–8), focusing on critical aspects of safety, behavior, and mental wellness.❤️‍🩹

❤️‍🩹 Key reminders shared with students include:

🚫 Anti-Bullying & Cyberbullying: Students were reminded of the harmful impacts of both face-to-face and online bullying, with a strong emphasis on the importance of not being a passive bystander. 🚫

📡💻📲 Digital Responsibility: In light of recent viral online bullying videos, the team checked on our students' emotional and mental well-being. Students are strictly instructed not to film, possess, or share videos of peers engaging in unethical acts or violence. Any such existing media must be deleted immediately.💻📡🖥

📱📲 Mobile Phone Policy: Students are prohibited from bringing mobile phones to school. Should a specific educational need arise, the school will officially communicate directly with parents and guardians.📱📲

🏡 After-School Safety: Students are required to head directly home immediately after school hours.🏡

💝 The well-being of our children remains our top priority. We encourage any student requiring emotion ental support to reach out to their Class Teachers, the School Counselor, or any member of the Well-being Team.💝

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It is deeply concerning to see recent viral media depicting instances of students harassment and assault within one of the schools. Please be assured that the well-being and safety of every child are our highest priorities. No incident of this nature should ever go unnoticed, as victims often suffer in silence.

Ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for our children is a shared responsibility.

We have recently seen instances where students are hurt or embarrassed by peers who then dismiss their actions as a "prank" or a "joke."

Our stance is clear: A joke is only funny if everyone is laughing. If a child is left feeling sad, hurt, or in tears, it is bullying, not a joke.

* Talk to your children daily. Remind them to tell a parent or a teacher immediately if they are bullied or see it happening to others.

* Let us know if your child needs help. We are here to support both the victims of bullying and the students who need guidance to correct their behavior.
