ANTI-BULLYING AMBASSADORS
ANTI-BULLYING AMBASSADORS
We are incredibly proud of our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors, who have made a brilliant contribution to our school community this term. They created and delivered thought-provoking lessons for all S1 (and S2) pupils, embracing this year’s national theme – The Power of One. The Ambassadors empowered their peers by not only clearly defining what anti-bullying entails but also equipping them with the vital skills needed to identify the subtle signs of bullying and understand their personal responsibility in addressing it. These sessions ensured that every S1 and S2 pupil was reminded of our school's clear policy and the actionable framework of S.T.O.P. (Speak Up, Take Action, Offer Support, Promote Respect). Their dedication in leading these vital sessions is making a profound difference in promoting a safe, supportive, and respectful culture for all.
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH ON
