National Day of Action

Against Bullying & Violence

We are proud to announce that we have registered to be part of the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence.

The NDA 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 NDA takes place on the third Friday in August. In 2023, this will be Friday 18 August.

The NDA is an opportunity for us to create a shared understanding of what is bullying, promote our bullying prevention policy and show support to students who may be experiencing bullying.

The NDA 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.

Everyone has a role to play in preventing bullying.

 

On Friday 18th August we are encouraging everyone to wear orange to show their support. We are asking for a gold coin donation which will go towards the purchase of a “Buddy Bench”.
