The committee, composed of school officials, teachers, parents, students, and barangay representatives, was organized to protect students’ rights and promote a zero-tolerance policy for any act of child abuse or discrimination.
Linda Ventenilla, BBNHS principal, said the committee will coordinate with the school, the PTA, and the barangay council in addressing incidents of bullying in the school.
“The council will also give the necessary support to children and their parents,” said Ventenilla.
