Speaking Up, Standing Together, Stop Bullying”!
On Friday the 19th of May the Kairangi student committee led the fight against bullying at Wesley College!
The kaupapa behind pink shirt day is Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying, after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. In Aotearoa, Pink Shirt Day works to create schools, workplaces, communities and whānau where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.
The Kairangi committee organised a series of lunch time events for the whole school. Even though the weather wasn’t great it was a great day! All proceeds went to the mental health foundation and we raised more money than we did last year. We would like to thank the Wesley College community for supporting us in our fight against bullying! Also special mention to the Kairangi student body for organising the events.
Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
