Guidelines for marking

Feedback
Students are provided with written comments from the teacher that inform them on how well their responses show an understanding of the different forms of bullying and harassment, the reasons it may occur, the effect it can have on the victim and how it can be effectively managed.
Future directions
Following this Activity students study the protective strategies that can be used to effectively manage personal safety, including ‘trust, talk and take control’. They also explore ways in which they can help others who are being bullied or harassed. Study in Stage 5 further develops students’ understanding of power in relationships as they explore broader contexts in which abuse may occur including the workplace, date violence and sexual harassment.
