Here at St. Nicholas we as a staff are always doing our best to promote kindness and peaceful resolutions to conflicts. Our goal is to create a safe, bully-free learning environment built on our Catholic virtues and values. Throughout the last several weeks we have been highlighting this messaging with our students through our Bullying-Awareness initiatives. On Monday November 25th, Coby The Magician entertained and dazzled our students with his incredible magic and reinforced positive messages around good decision making. On Friday November 29th, our school assembly focused on how to promote kindness in our school and our Grade 8 students led a powerful presentation of the book ‘ONE’ by Kathryn Otoshi. This simple picture book highlights many themes of bullying and how to overcome negative behaviour with the power each and every ONE of us has. After the student drama presentation, we (as an entire school) completed a Book Talk and discussed the various themes and concepts from the book. The presentation was effective in delivering this positive messaging and promoting a bully-free school. Finally, we will be completing our Anti-Bullying bulletin board in the front foyer to promote positive messaging and kindness throughout the school.
