Bullying Awareness week

This past week was Bullying Awareness week.  We recognized this by taking part in presentations, discussions, watching videos and listening to stories about bullying.  Bullying takes on many forms and our students are becoming aware of all the many bullying behaviours.  We went over physical, verbal, relational and cyber bullying and what each looks like.  We discussed what to do if you're being bullied and ways to stop a bully. The class had many positive solutions for bullying and came up with ways to stand up for themselves and for others.  They came up with safe solutions that keep them out of harms way, like coming to a trusted adult. Please take the time to talk with your student about bullying and let them share just how knowledgeable they are!  You may be surprised!
