St Mary's Calne
Anti-Bullying Week was marked by a series of engaging and educational activities designed to raise awareness and promote a positive, inclusive school culture. The week included Odd Socks Day, a poster competition, a chapel about the morality of bullying, and targeted lessons aimed at fostering understanding and empathy among students.
Odd Socks Day kicked off the week with students and staff invited to wear 'odd socks' in order to demonstrate solidarity against bullying and a respect for diversity. Monday saw a very colourful collection of socks around the school!
The key activity of our Anti-Bullying Week was a poster competition which aimed at informing students about the school policy as well as who they could speak to if required. The theme, Make a Noise About Bullying, inspired a myriad of creative and thoughtful entries that showcased the artistic talents of our students.
Participants were encouraged to depict the importance of kindness, empathy, and respect in fostering a safe and supportive school environment. The winner of this competition will be selected by next week. Good luck to everyone who entered!
