Bullying No Way! Week: Be Bold, Be Kind, Speak Up!

This week at MWSC we celebrated Bullying No Way! Week. The theme this year was “Be Bold, Be King, Speak Up!”, which  encourages students to move beyond awareness and into genuine, visible expressions of compassion — whether through words, gestures, or everyday decisions. By choosing to act thoughtfully and inclusively, each student helps make our school a more supportive, accepting community for everyone.

One of the highlights this week was the pancake breakfast on Monday morning, generously provided by the Syndal Baptist Church. Throughout the week, we’ve hosted a series of lunchtime activities on the senior campus designed to strengthen bonds and spark meaningful discussions. These including

  • Tote Bag Decorating – a chance for students to express positive messages and personal style on reusable bags.
  • Friendship Bracelet Making – a symbolic activity where each bracelet represents a bond of care and respect
  • Chalk Drawing – turning our campus walkways into colourful messages of encouragement and inclusion.

When students engage in activities that bring joy, creativity, and connection, they’re not only learning about kindness , they are demonstrating it. This week’s events highlight that each person has the power to create a school environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported.

We do encourage our school community to continue this message- especially when it comes to acts of kindness. Some tips for home include:

  • Encourage your child to share at least one small act of kindness they did or witnessed each day.
  • Create a “kindness jar” at home — add slips throughout the week to celebrate daily kindnesses.
  • Open discussion on what it means to speak up and what impact kind acts have on all of us.
