Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Hugh Ahern:

In my school, there are a lot of members of staff who are very pleasant to deal with but there are certain teachers who stand out to me. You know who to approach. Maybe the teachers who seem interested. For me, it would be the staff and teachers who seem interested in the students' emotional behaviour along with the students' academic achievements. It is the members of staff and teachers who are the most interested in the student and who want to see the student academically improve, but also it is the people who are most pleasant who recognise the student for who he or she is. It comes with the teacher's name as well. It is the way that the teacher is portrayed around the school as to who you would go to. Our staff are very kind.
