Learning Diversity & Wellbeing

Bully Zero

Week 7 was Bullying No Way week. Students focussed their learning around the theme of ‘Small Acts Making Big Impact’. The focus was on how small acts of kindness, inclusion and speaking up can make a big difference to others. On Friday, students were invited to wear a splash of purple to reflect the importance of being an upstander and saying NO to bullying. All students chose a small act of kindness that they would commit to actioning on a regular basis. All links were put together to create our ‘SOGS Friendship chain’. 

We invite you to visit our friendship tree and view our friendship chain, if you are on site.

Some key takeaways from the week:

Bullying happens when a person or a group of people repeatedly and intentionally use words or actions to cause distress and harm to another person's safety and wellbeing. 

An Upstander is someone who takes action against bullying behaviour. When an Upstander sees someone being bullied, they do something about it. They help to stop the bullying from happening, or they support the person who’s being bullied. 

A bystander is watching bullying happening to someone else and not doing anything about it.
