The ‘Zero Bullying: Whole School
Program’ had been paving the way for celebrating ‘Anti-bullying Day’. On this
day, an ‘Anti-bullying Alliance’ meeting was held at Oakridge Newton Campus. The
Alliance included members of the ‘Anti-bullying Squad’ i.e. junior and senior
school students, senior management team, junior school coordinators and team
leaders, senior school coordinators and members of the administrative staff.
The meeting started off
with Dr. Shakila Naidu addressing the gathering and talking about the
importance of bullying prevention in schools.
The role of bystanders, reporting a bullying incident and immediate
response were highlighted to the audience. During the meeting, the students of Grade
V put up a skit showcasing a bullying incident and what happens when you don't
get help versus when you do get help.
The prefects from Grade XI
sang a song and made a presentation on bullying. The prizes for various
competitions held as a part of ‘Zero Bullying: Whole School Program’ were
distributed by Principal Capt. Rohit Sen Bajaj, Junior School Headmistress Mrs.
Hema Sanjay and Vice-Principal Mrs. Hema Chennupaty.
The Counseling and
Supportive Instruction Unit presented an ‘Anti-bullying Charter’ that acts as
promise — to not bully others, help others who are bullied, and to always
report incidents of bullying. All the members of the Anti-bullying Alliance and
the students who are a part of the Anti-bullying Squad signed the Charter and
were given badges for being a member of the Anti-bullying movement. The meeting
came to an end with the school choir singing the National Anthem.
