Earlier in the week Dr. Patty Rose came down from Wollongong to provide teaches, students and parents at our school with a workshop on anti-bullying, or as the more modern, positive and pro-active term states, a workshop on being UPstanders. Being an UPstander means you take immediate action if you see bullying behaviour being carried out around you. Messages such as 'stop-go-tell' were discussed, students acted out scenarios, interacted with a puppet, viewed a slide show and got the opportunity to learn about how to recognise bullying behaviour as opposed to conflict behaviour. A key theme of the morning was 'kindness' and them importance of this value was strongly emphasised throughout the session. Thank you Dr. Patty for encouraging us all to be Upstanders wherever we are, in order to stamp out bullying behaviour.
A note from Miss Taylor..
Our class blog will be added to at the end of every week. Take a few minutes to check out the entries with your child and discuss what they, along with their classmates, have been learning in class over the previous week. I hope you enjoy this special account of your child's time in 2M. Positive and encouraging comments are warmly welcome! Archives
