Anti-bullying Policy

We are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our pupils so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our school. If bullying does occur, all students should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively.

What is Bullying?

Bullying is the use of aggression with the intention of hurting another person. Bullying results in pain and distress to the victim.

Bullying can be:

  •     Emotional – being unfriendly, excluding, tormenting (e.g. hiding books, threatening gestures).
  •     Physical – pushing, kicking, hitting, punching or any use of violence.
  •     Racist – racial taunts, graffiti, gestures.
  •     Sexual – unwanted physical contact or sexually abusive comments.
  •     Homophobic – because of, or focussing on the issue of sexuality.
  •     Verbal – name-calling, sarcasm, spreading rumours, teasing.

Why is it Important to Respond to Bullying?

Bullying hurts. No one deserves to be a victim of bullying. Everybody has the right to be treated with respect.

As a language school we have a responsibility to respond promptly and effectively to issues of bullying.

Action Required

Should any student become aware of bullying behaviour they should report it to member of LAL staff immediately. Should any member of staff become aware of bullying behaviour, they should report it to a member of the Welfare Department immediately.

They did everything they could to look after me…

I’d like to take this time to say something about the time I spent in Cape Town, especially the accommodation. Even if my host family is away from here by walking, Ms Bev Lucraft and her mother are friendly and they did everything they could to look after me.  I recommend to the LAL to choose that host family to the others students because it is a good stay.

Teachers are good at English and they gave me all English I’m looking for and other facilities to succeed.  I’ll recommend other students to take part in LAL.

The teachers in LAL teach well and they are so cool…

I want to improve my English that’s why I’ve been staying for one month at LAL. It was a good experience because I met people from different countries, new friends and I can practice English everyday.

Cape Town is a lovely place, I really enjoy it.  The teachers in LAL teach well and they are so cool. The staff in the school is also sociable. Concerning my accommodation, I like it, my room is clean and has enough space even I shared it.

I think I am able to have a chat with a native speaker without problems

It is absolutely interesting to meet classmates from other countries, with different cultures and, of course, different thoughts and beliefs. In addition to this, I feel very proud of myself in terms of progress because at this moment, I think that I am able to have a chat with a native speaker without problems. This shows the good education that I have been receiving.

Thank you so much LAL School and Cape Town for an amazing week spent here. Every activity that was organized by the school was well-organized, every tour is memorable. Special thanks to my teacher Shuraiz and his stories in the museum.
I wish I can stay here for more weeks because 1 week in Cape Town it’s not enough and I would recommend LAL school to anyone who wants to improve his/her English.
