Anti-Bullying Week!

Today, during our Anti-Bullying Action Week, we work to raise awareness around bullying and how to address bullying behaviours, students have an opportunity to think about the importance of building healthy relationships and fostering a positive school climate. Additionally, did you know that in Canada 1 in 7 youth report that they have been victimized online, therefore it is important to transfer and apply our knowledge about bullying into our online practices as well. Students are reminded to report bullying because you care about those involved! They are also reminded that when it happens, they should talk to a caring adult, at school or at home. Students are encouraged to use the free and anonymous HWDSB Helps service by text to 905-963-0066, the app for iOS and Android, or by web chat. Call 911 in case of emergency.
