2018 National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence
The Palaszczuk Government is leading the way on a national campaign to tackle bullying and cyberbullying, as announced recently by the Premier. We want to demonstrate Queensland’s commitment that bullying and violence are never okay, inside or outside the classroom. I encourage all students and teachers to make their school an ‘NDA school’ and stand united against bullying and violence on the 2018 National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. Grace Grace MP, Minister for Education and Industrial Relations.
With the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA) so close, it’s inspiring that more than 850 Queensland schools (2500 schools across Australia) will be standing united on Friday, March 16 and calling for a future where bullying has no place.
The NDA is Australia’s key anti-bullying event for schools and a day of action for communities.
Did you know that more than one million Australian school students will be participating in local events and activities? What’s your school doing? Just in Queensland, there are more than 425,000 students participating from more than 850 schools. As part of the NDA this year, young people are being called to imagine a world free from bullying and share their BIG IDEAS. This is to spark a conversation, drive awareness and hear the great ideas young people have in finding solutions to bullying.
The NDA is a positive day that provides a focus for schools to talk about the importance of standing together and saying ‘Bullying. No Way!’ in their communities.
Join together on Friday March 16 with your school community, and let’s say ‘Bullying. No Way!’ to help ignite a conversation about bullying.
