Over the past few weeks, our Grade 5/6 students have taken part in the Stand-Up Project, an important wellbeing and anti-bullying initiative.
The project began with a special incursion for all Grade 5/6 students, where they explored respectful behaviour, inclusion, empathy, resilience and the importance of standing up against bullying. Following the incursion, around 20 students were selected as Stand-Up Leaders and ambassadors for the program.
Last week, our Stand-Up Leaders proudly presented their learning to teachers. Tonight after school, they also shared their presentations with parents and families.
This is an exciting first step in the project. Over time, the Stand-Up Leaders will work together to create their own lessons and activities to share with younger students across the school. Through this, they will help promote positive relationships, respectful behaviour and a strong sense of belonging within our community.
We are incredibly proud of the maturity, leadership and confidence our students demonstrated throughout the presentations. They represented our school positively and showed a genuine commitment to helping make our school a safe, respectful and supportive place for everyone.
A huge thank you to Ms Maskery and Mr Pryor, the driving forces behind this initiative, along with the teachers and families who have supported the program and encouraged our students along the way.
