This is National Anti-Bullying Week and the theme is ‘Power for Good’. This ties in well with our school values – respect, honesty, kindness, responsibility and perseverence. Members of the Think Tank Group have been going around classes reminding children of strategies to use if they are being bullied. Cyber bullying is increasing and this is something we are working hard on in Meldrum Primary. Childline advise that the statistics are up 90% over the last year where children are seeking advice on issues regarding cyber bullying. Some guidance for parents can be found on the following two links:
