We were successful in securing a $500 grant to use for implementing strategies for a proactive approach to bullying prevention and education. With the school providing additional funding we have secured Bully Zero to provide workshops for all students in year 1-year 6 and a parent information webinar.

The workshops and webinar will take place on Monday 30 October. Bully Zero’s wellbeing workshops aim to achieve a reduction in bullying and conflict, increased awareness, and improvements in overall mental health and wellbeing. They also aim to uplift and inspire students, promoting a positive growth mindset, providing students with strategies to overcome challenges.

Year 1 and 2 students will participate in the program Understanding Bullying. This program includes:

  • General overview of bullying – What bullying is and what bullying is not
  • Different types of bullying behaviour
  • Strategies to address bullying
  • The role of the Upstander
  • Empathy and respect
  • Help and support

Year 3-6 students will engage in the Thrive program, which includes:
