Stand Up to Bullying Week

February 20 – 24, 2024, is Stand Up to Bullying Week. Each day this week, as we continue to live out this year’s spiritual theme, Speaking With the Heart, we will reflect on how we can be a witness to God’s love and stand up against all forms of bullying. Schools will be participating in daily prayers, conversation starters, and challenges throughout Stand Up to Bullying Week.

By working together, we can create and maintain a positive school climate, where all members of our school community feel safe, valued, respected, and accepted.

 

Stand Up to Bullying Week Art Contest

This year, students were invited to submit a piece of original art to promote Stand Up to Bullying Week and Pink Shirt Day.  The Safe and Accepting Schools Committee reviewed entries, and selected the following winning submissions:

  • Primary (Kindergarten - Grade 3): Rehan from St. Patrick Catholic School
  • Junior (Grade 4-6): Ella from Father Fénelon Catholic School
  • Intermediate (Grade 7-10): Domenic from St. Francis de Sales Catholic School
  • Pink Shirt Day: Andrew from St. Francis de Sales Catholic School

Winning submissions will be featured on our websites, social media, and newsletters.
