Introduction
The Board of Management of Loreto College St. Stephen’s Green, recognizes that all staff members have the right to a workplace free from bullying and sexual harassment and is fully committed to ensuring that every staff member will enjoy that right. Each and every member of the school community has a duty to uphold the right of every individual in the school to work in an environment that is free from bullying or harassment of any kind.
This policy was drawn up in consultation with staff, parent representatives and the Board of Management and with reference to the School’s Mission Statement.
In an atmosphere of mutual respect and justice, we are a community that aims to provide a rich and diverse curriculum catering for the needs of each individual student. We provide a holistic education wherein we strive for excellence in the pursuit of knowledge. Social concerns and spiritual values are central to our educational philosophy, while sporting and cultural endeavours are encouraged. Each student is challenged to realise her full potential and to recognise the dignity of each human being.
The Loreto school is perceived as a community, with the student at its centre, where every effort is made to give practical expression to truth, freedom, justice, sincerity and joy. Relationships, structures and systems within the school are constantly evaluated against these core values.
