Anti-Bullying Week

This week is Anti-Bullying Week. Staff and students will be wearing odd socks on Monday to raise awareness and show Springwest Academy's support to anti-bullying. This year's theme is 'Reach Out.' It aims to encourage students to speak out about bullying; whether this is speaking out to a trusted adult or reaching out to another person who is being bullied.

If we can challenge bullying, we can change it. Students will receive a hand template where they can write a pledge to show their support. Students will also write the name of a trusted adult on each finger who they can turn to if they are or are aware of someone else being bullied. This is because at Springwest, we do not tolerate bullying. We are polite, kind and ready to learn.
