Bullying. No Way!
Students were issued wrist bands this week in support of the national Bullying.No Way! campaign. They were encouraged to wear them for the week as a reminder to ‘look out for’ and ‘look after’ each other. A short video presentation was also shown to emphasise some important anti-bullying messages. Aitken College includes substantial material with an anti-bullying and respectful relationships theme in the Life Skills curriculum from Prep to Year 12.
