Bullying NO WAY! - Wear a touch of Purple
At Newport Lakes Primary School we promote inclusion, respect and belonging every day. On Friday 16th of August we will be joining the National Day of Action against Bullying, BULLYING NO WAY. Every class throughout the school will be taking part in discussions around this topic and working on a class activity to promote the 2024 theme, Everyone belongs.
As purple is the new hero colour to represent the day we ask that the students wear a touch of purple (if possible). All students should wear their school uniform but may have a purple beanie, T shirt, ribbon etc to mark the day.
