‘Zero Bullying: Whole School Program’ — Awareness Session and Competition for Grades 3 and 4

The Awareness Session for Grades 3 and 4 started with introductory questions: “Who is a bully?” “What is bullying?” The session explained to the children what they could do in the event of a bullying incident — as a victim or as a bystander. As the children of these Grades are older, they were able to understand the concept of bullying and its consequences better.

The psychological effects of bullying such as low self-esteem and low confidence were elaborated on and explained to the students. The importance of coming forward with the incidents of bullying was emphasized upon. The aim of this session was to make the students understand the adverse consequences of their acts of bullying and how it can be stopped.

In order to complement the Awareness Session, a slogan/rhyme making competition was held for the students of Grades 3 and 4 on the same day. The students were asked to come up with an anti-bullying rhyme or slogan. This thought-provoking activity made them think about various aspects of bullying. The impact has been so successful that even after the competition, the students came up with several excellent ideas.
