In Weeks 7 to 10 teachers are delivering lessons and holding discussions with students in relation to bullying. Students will take part in discussions and activities to learn what bullying is, the different types of bullying, the effects of bullying and strategies to use to respond to bullying. Students will learn how to be an upstander. An upstander is someone who recognises when something is wrong and acts to make it right. To reinforce this important message, please take some time in your day, this could be in the car or at the dinner table, to talk to your children at home about being an upstander and not a bystander.
