SPECIAL EVENTS Anti-Bullying Week
In November the College marked Anti-Bullying week. Throughout the week, pupils focused on the issue, thinking about how they can help and support others to reduce bullying and its negative effects. Commenting on a jam-packed week of activities and competitions, Ms Karmock-Golds said, ‘It was wonderful to see so many “Helping Hands” from pupils indicating when they have helped or been offered help, as well as being able to share The Big Anti-Bullying Assembly along with 1.7 million other pupils nationwide in our tutor times.’ We continue to champion compassion as one of our core values and it was clearly embraced by all year groups in their response to this Theme of the Week. On Friday 20 November, pupils and staff came to school wearing blue in aid of Stand Up to Bullying, each donating a pound towards the charity. Ms Butler, Head of English, said: ‘A huge thank you to all St Dunstan’s pupils and staff who donated to Stand Up to Bullying. It was wonderful to see so many shades of blue worn in support of this excellent charity, which does such important work helping to tackle the serious issue of bullying.’ The Senior School raised £656.30 for this charity.
