Anti-Bullying Week 2022
On Monday 14th November the school took part in ODD SOCKS DAY to mark the start of Anti-Bullying Week 2022.
It was an opportunity for our children to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique! Mr. Paton held an assembly on this year’s theme ‘REACH OUT’. We spoke about what bullying is and how we can tackle it, both in school and in the wider community. We looked at ways we could Reach Out to friends, family, teachers and ourselves - how talking about worries and concerns is the best way to deal with issues around bullying.
The Anti-Bullying Alliance’s call to action:
Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If we challenge it, we can change it. And it starts by reaching out.
Whether it’s in school, at home, in the community or online, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone you know is being bullied. Reach out and consider a new approach.
And it doesn’t stop with young people. From teachers to parents and influencers to politicians, we all have a responsibility to help each other reach out. Together, let’s be the change we want to see. Reflect on our own behaviour, set positive examples and create kinder communities.
It takes courage, but it can change lives. So, this Anti-Bullying Week, let’s come together and reach out to stop bullying.
The children at Hebden Royd Primary are ready to set a positive example and answer the call to tackle bullying in all its forms.
