This week the schools in our Kahui Ako have chosen to highlight Bullying- Free NZ Week.

While this week we are making an extra effort to focus on prevention of bullying in our school and community, it is something that we need to work on consistently, not just one week a year.

The Bullying-Free NZ website has some excellent resources which you can access through this link:

However, over the next few newsletters, we will feature some of these resources so that you will be reminded to keep up the conversation with your families. This week we attach a very good summary "What is bullying?" It's important that we develop a shared understanding of what is and what is not bullying. We hope this will be useful.
