  • Advocacy:  
  • In October, we are focusing on the empowering theme of 'Using Your Voice' in our school community. As a community, we play a crucial role in helping our students navigate the challenges they may face at school, including bullying. This month, we encourage you to engage in open conversations with your students about the importance of using their voices to stand up against bullying. By teaching them to speak up, report incidents, and support their peers, we can create a safe and inclusive environment where every child feels heard and valued. Together, let's empower our children to be advocates for kindness, empathy, and respect, ensuring that our schools are places where everyone can thrive. 
     
  • Our advocacy will cover a range of topics around Bully Prevention and Using Your Voice, including:  
  • Understanding Bullying 
  • Communication and Reporting 
  • Empathy and Inclusion 
  • Cyberbullying and Prevention
