Friday the 18th of March marked the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA). The day provided students at the College with an opportunity to stand up against bullying, promoting ‘Kindness Culture’ across the school, with an emphasis on inclusion, respect and a sense of community belonging.
This year, students were encouraged to support the promotion of ‘Kindness Culture’ by wearing a splash of pink to school. This is our take on ‘Pink Shirt Day,’ a day that began in Canada in 2007. A student was bullied and harassed for wearing a pink shirt to school, in response two students bought dozens of pink shirts and distributed them to classmates to wear the next day. Word got out online and hundreds of students showed up in pink, some from head to toe, to stand together against bullying.
1 in 5 young Australians have experienced bullying in their lives. The result is often a serious and ongoing negative impact on health and general well-being. It is our duty to stand up against bullying, creating a school community where people feel safe and supported to be their authentic self.
Remember, Kindness Culture starts with you.
