TAKE A SEAT TOGETHER
Eynesbury Senior College joined more than 2000 schools across Australia to mark the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA). “Bullying and violence are not okay at any time, in or outside the classroom. At Eynesbury, we are proud to say, Bullying: No Way!” said students Yoge Senthilkumar and Raaj Masaud, who organised the event. “To highlight the day, and with Bunning’s donation of two benches, paint and brushes, we created colourful ‘buddy benches’ to promote an inclusive and supportive environment.” The benches became a ‘selfie booth station’ with fun props to further spread the message on social media. Permanent markets allowed students and staff to sign their names or leave a message on the benches in support of Anti-Bullying,” said Yoge and Raaj. Yoge, who is part of the Port Power Youth Programme, also had football legend Russell Ebert visit the College. Russell added his signature to one of the buddy benches in support. The benches remain on Level 2 as an important reminder that every day we should stand up against bullying, not just on the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence day.
