Our Woodville brought attention to our anti bullying processes as part of Bully No Way Day on August 14. The theme for 2024 was ‘Everyone belongs’. When we all feel like we belong, bullying struggles to find a place. It’s about embracing who we are, respecting everyone’s differences and standing up together against unkindness. Belonging means we all have a role in preventing bullying. We’re encouraged to speak up and create a safe place where everyone feels supported and respected, and our voices are heard and valued. Parents/Caregivers have a key role in preventing and responding to bullying.
During our THRIVE Program students came together to develop their Anti Bullying messages and pledges which will then be combined from each House Group to formulate a Bully Pledge for each House in line with their 3 values.
These will then be combined into a whole school Anti bullying pledge that will be displayed in our school.
The year 12 Health and Wellbeing Class focussed their studies on the impact of Bullying on adolescents. They have researched ways to help positively promote anti bullying and how to provide support for people who have suffered from bullying.
Some of the activities included:
Fundraising for the Do It for Dolly campaign. This foundation supports the family of a young girl who was a victim to bullying and spreads awareness of the true dangers and its effects on young individuals.
Additionally, the group had a pop-up stall facilitating the distribution of ‘bullying no way’ wristbands alongside the student-made educational materials of what we believe
