Project Rockit

North Melbourne Primary School is excited to announce that we have partnered with Project Rockit. Project Rockit is Australia's youth-driven movement against bullying. Their youth-led workshops have reached over 500,000 young people across the country, empowering students to stand up against bullying, instead of standing by. Their strengths-based workshops have a strong focus on setting up positive norms and providing young people with proactive strategies to keep themselves and others safe, connected and supported on and offline. They aim to raise students' social and self-awareness and create an environment where diversity is celebrated, so that every young person can thrive and reach their full potential.

PROJECT ROCKIT sits on Facebook’s Global Safety Board, Twitter’s Global Trust and Safety Council and they are certified by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner as a Trusted eSafety Provider.

Project Rockit will work with our grade 3 to 6 cohorts and commence working on Monday 23rd May. We believe this will be an exciting opportunity for our students and are looking forward to their program roll-out.
