Bullying No Way: National week of action
The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence has a new name—Bullying No Way: National week of action.
Bullying No Way Week, 12 to 16 August 2024, is Australia’s key bullying prevention initiative and connects schools and communities to find workable solutions to prevent bullying.
The theme for 2024 is '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.
All students are encouraged to wear orange clothing to support this cause. Student must still wear sun safe clothing and closed in shoes.
Parents and caregivers can visit https://bullyingnoway.gov.au/support-and-advice/for-families for more information about this cause.
