Earlier this week, a group of our students recently took part in Anti-Bullying Ambassador Training with The Diana Award, equipping them with the tools to help build an even kinder, safer school community.
Organised by Mrs Jackson, this full-day, expert-led training empowered students to recognise different types of bullying behaviour and understand how to identify when it may be happening. They explored the importance of being an upstander, learning how to intervene safely and support peers who may be experiencing bullying.
Students also worked on social action planning, developing ideas and next steps to launch a whole-school anti-bullying campaign.
The trainer was excellent, engaging and the session interactive, which kept our students fully involved throughout the day. The team were also introduced to sign language, which they used to demonstrate their understanding of key concepts learned during the session.
A fantastic opportunity for our young people, a whopping 44 students from across Years 7–10 took part and are now ready to make a positive difference in our school community. Some of these students will now go on to join our FAB team (Friends Against Bullying) to help shape how we approach bullying as a school.
