Wellbeing Update

National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence

This year the National Day of Action will take place on Friday 18th of August. Teams are currently carrying out lessons on bullying and bullying prevention, with a particular focus on this year’s theme of ‘Growing Connections’. 

Other Activities

• Students have been connecting with others by working in small groups to design and make posters around this year’s theme. Classes have voted on their favourite posters and winners for F-2 and 3-6 will be announced at assembly on the 18th of August.

• Multi-age activities – This Friday classes will mix to take part in activities which aim to build connection across the school. Foundation will mix with 3/4 and 1/2 with 5/6. We look forward to sharing photos and the results of these collaborative tasks with you in next week’s Newsletter.

Assembly (This Friday, 18thAugust)

Our work will culminate in an assembly and whole school activities on the day of action. Students will share their learning, we will announce winners of the poster competition and finally, we’ll conclude with a lovely sound bath, led by Romy Paltoglou, which aims to connect all of us to ourselves and to each other as we go into the day.

We look forward to seeing how this understanding of connection can help to contribute to the prevention of bullying here at SKiPPS.
