Take action against bullies

Member for Mallee Andrew Broad has encouraged teachers and school leaders across his electorate to take action against bullying.

Mr Broad said registrations were open for schools to sign up to the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence on March 15.

“The National Day of Action is a movement against bullying and cyberbullying, and registered schools will receive new anti-bullying materials and teaching resources,” he said.

“Parents want to know students, teachers and school leaders have the best tools to deal with bullying and cyberbullying.

“The Morrison government is focused on keeping our kids safe, which means providing support and resources to combat bullies as well as educating everyone about the impact of bullying.

“I want to see more schools across Australia, including in the Mallee, Wimmera and Mildura, taking a stand against bullying. We have already surpassed the two million students who took part in last year’s event.

“My message to students is get your teachers and principals fired up about taking action against bullying and register to become a National Day of Action school.”
