For Bullying Prevention Week, students from Rick Hansen PS explored what it means to be an upstander.
Students learned about the SAFE strategy:
- Shift the Spotlight
- Ask for Help
- Foster Support
- Engage with Empathy
Students share what they learned about recognizing bullying, supporting peers and taking action.
"The lesson in upstanders helped our class to understand the importance of taking action against injustice and supporting others when they need help," said Teacher Beatrice Kolade. "It's also encouraged us to move from being a passive bystander to active participants in creating a respectful and inclusive learning environment."
