National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence

On Friday 16th March, CSPS celebrated the eighth National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence. This year the theme for the day was “Imagine a world free from bullying”. During the week students undertook a number of activities with the aim of building greater student awareness of what bullying is and the positive strategies to respond to bullying. Students also contributed to a whole school display which can be viewed outside the Art Room. To wrap up the National Day of Action each class met on the basketball court to participate in a whole school rally. Our School Captains read an Anti-bullying passage and then each student joined a giant conga line with the message of everyone standing together against bullying. It was an extremely positive and special day for our school and the message was heard loud and clear.
