National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence

Friday 18th August

The National Day of Action is Australia’s key bullying prevention initiative for schools, encouraging whole-school communities to work together to implement evidence-informed positive and proactive solutions to prevent and address bullying.

The National Day of Action theme for 2023 is 'growing connections'. This theme supports research findings that strong school community connections and social skills are protective factors in the prevention of bullying and help enable positive, help-seeking behaviours in students.

At Carnegie Primary School, we will be acknowledging this incredibly important day in our classrooms and school grounds this week. Our wellbeing leaders are busy creating activities for our students for Friday and we are always interested in any ideas that our community may have to recognise this day as well. 

Please find attached some fact sheets that can be downloaded to support your understanding of this initiative and some ideas to help support our students who may experience bullying.
