BONNER SCHOOLS ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST BULLYING

Federal Member for Bonner Ross Vasta has encouraged teachers and school leaders in Bonner to take action against bullying.

Mr Vasta said registrations were now open for schools to sign up to the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence on Friday 15 March 2019.

“The National Day of Action is a national movement against bullying and cyberbullying, and registered schools in Bonner would receive new anti-bullying materials and teaching resources,” Mr Vasta said.

“Parents want to know that students, teachers and school leaders in Bonner have the best tools to deal with bullying and cyberbullying.

“The Morrison Government is focused on keeping our kids safe, which means providing support and resources to combat bullies as well as educating everyone about the impact of bullying.

“I want to see more and more schools across Australia, including in Bonner, taking a stand against bullying, and we have already surpassed the two million students who took part in last year’s event.

“My message to Bonner’s teachers and principals is to get fired up about taking action against bullying and register to become a National Day of Action school.”
