In 2018 our Grade 6 Welfare and Media teams worked together with Nicole Salmon and Billie Leatham to produce this amazing video clip demonstrating friendship, inclusion and acceptance.
National Bullying No Way day was celebrated at the end of term 1 with an uplifting ceremony which included a symbolic *balloon release with everyone dancing.
* the balloons used were biodegradable, with the strings detached before release.
During term 3, 2017, the year 6 media team had the opportunity to produce a short film. They chose the topic of bullying and with the support of staff got to work writing, storyboarding, casting, filming, directing and editing. 
All this work paid off and their short film "Upside Down" is something they can be very proud of.
