Wear PURPLE or ORANGE - National Day Against Bullying
2024-08-12 08:50 - 15:10
We invite students to wear PURPLE or ORANGE along with their uniform on Monday, 12th August as part of the National Week Against Bullying camp

The theme for this year’s National Week Against Bullying campaign is:

Everyone belongs.

When we all feel like we belong, bullying struggles to find a place. It’s about embracing who we are, respecting everyone’s differences and standing up together against unkindness.

Belonging means we all have a role in preventing bullying. We’re encouraged to speak up and create a safe place where everyone feels supported and respected, and our voices are heard and valued.

Purple is the new orange!

Purple is now the hero colour that will represent Bullying No Way: National week of action. It represents peace, strength and empowerment, with bold tones signifying a firm stand against bullying behaviour
