Bully Awareness Week

To recognize Bully Awareness Week, we have pictures, quotes, videos, and information about Pink Shirt Day. While you look at the sections below, you should recognize what happened and how it was wrong.

Anti-Bullying Awareness Week

During the week of November 22nd - November 26th, our school participated in Bullying Prevention and Awareness Week! We had our Grade 4 and 5 students participate in daily announcements and give strategies to help prevent bullying in our school.

We learned that bullying can come in a lot of different forms. Some bullying is face to face bullying which means that both the bully and the victim are present. The bullying behaviors are pretty obvious. The person being bullied knows that it is happening and knows who the bully is. A different kind of bullying, called behind the back bullying, it is harder to recognize. The person being bullied might not even know that it’s happening or who is doing the bullying. Some examples of behind the back bullying include gossip, rumors, and mean jokes. Bullying can happen at school or away from school. Some people use the computer or phones or other technology to bully. We wore pink Friday November 26th to show our agreements and support for our school to have a No Bullying environment! Help put a STOP to Bullying.
