Olivia and Aaron represented our school with pride. Well done.
Primary school students from across Latrobe came together last month to address the increasing rates of bullying being faced by local children and young people.
Council have facilitated co-design workshops with schools across Latrobe over the past three years, where it was found that one of the biggest health & wellbeing issues students are facing in Latrobe is bullying. Council Officers have supported students to develop ideas that could be delivered in schools as a way of addressing this issue.
Last month, The Stand-Up project workshops were delivered to leadership students across Latrobe. Students learnt about the causes of bullying, the impacts of bullying, the bystander effect and how to be an upstander.
The students left the workshops feeling empowered and excited by the fact that they "can now stand up and take ownership over the issue”.
Thank you to Traralgon South Primary School, Morwell Park Primary School, Hazelwood North Primary School, St Gabriels Primary School, St Vincent de Paul Primary School, Yarragon Primary School, Moe (Elizabeth Street) Primary School and Yallourn North Primary School for participating in the workshops.
