NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST BULLYING AND VIOLENCE

The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA) is Australia’s key bullying prevention initiative, connecting schools and communities to find workable solutions to bullying and violence. 

The theme for the NDA 2021 is Take Action Together. This theme aims to elevate student voice, empowering young Australians to join the conversation. With the help of our Liturgical Leaders and Miss Slocomb, St Benedict’s will recognise this day on Friday.

Bullying is never ok. It’s hurtful and can impact someone for a long time. If being bullied, whether face to face or online, remember that you’re not alone. There are people you can talk to and things you can do to stop the bullying.
