Our challenge
Schools are among the safest places in the community for children and young people. But bullying, harassment and violence place students' safety in jeopardy.
This is an issue for our whole society because protecting children and young people is everybody's business.
We know...
- that bullying, harassment and violence occur in all schools communities.
We know...
- that schools can and do make a difference in creating the environments we would like.
- that we can make a positive long-term difference with understanding, informed planning and action, and collaboration among all groups within the school community.
We want...
- an education system for our young people that reflects care, respect, inclusion, diversity, cooperation and nonviolent resolution of conflict.
- to make a huge difference as individuals by working together to make sure that our school communities are places where everyone is safe, supported and respected.
We can ...
- use the Bullying. No way! website. School communities around Australia – parents, staff, students and community members – can increase understanding about the issues, hear others' stories, find out about resources, and share strategies and success stories across the nation.
"This is a team effort to achieve harmony. It's a bit like a large ship with a very small rudder where passengers move themselves and their luggage to different parts of the ship so that the distribution of their weight will cause the ship to change direction. Together we can do it."
