Counsellor's Corner
November 2025
As we enter November, we’re preparing for an important event at our school: Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week, which takes place from November 17-21. This week is an opportunity for our community to come together, reflect, and build on our commitment to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all students.
What is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week?
This week is dedicated to educating students about the impact of bullying and the importance of kindness, empathy, and respect. Our goal is to empower students to recognize bullying, understand its effects, and feel confident in seeking help or standing up for themselves and others.
Upcoming Activities for Students
Throughout the week, students will engage in activities and discussions focused on building positive relationships, fostering inclusivity, identifying bullying, and standing up in safe and respectful ways.
Tips for Parents
To extend learning beyond school, here are some ways you can support your child in building resilience and fostering empathy at home:
Talk About It: Ask your child what they’ve learned during Bullying Awareness Week. Encourage them to share their thoughts on bullying, respect, and kindness.
Model Kindness: Show by example. Children notice how we speak and interact with others. Small gestures of kindness can make a big impression!
Practice Assertive Communication: Help your child understand that they can say “no” or stand up for themselves calmly and respectfully.
