INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST BULLYING

On May 2nd, the International Day against Bullying is held to raise people’s awareness about violence at schools.

This podcast is intended to make us aware of the issue of bullying among children, especially in schools. Children of all ages as well as parents will help to shine a light on the problem of bullying and show ways to help resolve the issue.

Students in 1st and 2nd year CSE have prepared a programme after their Librarium Reading Club, where they read Bully on the Bus, a book of poems by Kathryn Apel.

THE BULLY
She’s big.
She’s smart.
She’s mean.
She’s the bully on the bus.
She picks on me and I don’t like it.
But I don’t know how to make her stop. 

Parents, students and teachers will also be asked to play an active role in preventing bullying. The main role that carers can provide is creating a safe environment where young people can feel like they are able to talk about their feelings and problems and will receive support.
