We have been learning how to respond to peer conflict, mean behaviour, and bullying in schools. These lessons focus on creating safe and welcoming spaces and are being delivered by our school counsellor, Ms. Aquilla.
In the past few lessons, we have learned how to be a Bully Buster. We discovered what it means to be a Bully Buster and how each letter represents an important part of being an upstander. Although all the steps are important, the most crucial step is to tell an adult and keep telling until the bullying behaviour is stopped and safety is ensured.
These skills are important because they teach us how to stand up for others, create a safer environment, and help prevent bullying.
