2 National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence On Friday students at GPS acknowledged that it was the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. Respect is one of our school values and is linked to everything we do at GPS. Last week students in Stage 3 classes participated in a webinar from the office of the esafety Commission called Imagine a future free from cyberbullying. Bullying. No Way! Cards were handed out to Year 3 to 6 students today. The cards provide students with information about what to do if they are being bullied, some phone numbers they can call if they need help and the website address which is full of fantastic resources. Stewart House envelopes are being sent home today. Please return them to the school by the end of Term 1 (13 th il). Thank you. Page 2
