Bullying Prevention Programme

Helping children to recognise and respect the differences in one another.  By understanding that everyone has something valuable to offer, children learn acceptance, tolerance, respect, and understanding of others.

By instilling these core values and encouraging good character, Just Say Whoa® to Bullying builds a foundation of understanding and promotes a positive social environment, which – in turn – fosters kindness and good citizenship.
