Anti-Bullying Week: Reach Out, from14 to 18 November 2022
The theme this year’s for Anti-Bullying Week is ‘Reach Out’ and is coordinated by the Anti-Bullying Alliance.
Reach Out was chosen by teachers and students who said they wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. The week started with Odd Sock Day which aims to celebrate what makes us all unique. The school nurses joined in and wore their odd socks on Monday, why not take a look at the pictures on our Odd Sock Day Blog.
