Anti Violence



Students at school have formed SAVE Students against violence everywhere. This group of students plan to work actively in school to make a difference for students so students can feel safe and have a good experience of school life. Violence in all forms - physical , verbal, psychological is NOT tolerated.

The question is HOW can they make a difference?
If we believe we can not change others we can only change ourselves What can this group?

It is simple really and can be achieved in 3 steps
  1. Lead by example
  2. Educate/ Inform - Get students thinking
  3. Stand beside those being targeted, and SAY " WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS NOT OK - IT IS NOT OK- VIOLENCE IS NOT OK"
Clearly
If we watch and do nothing
If we follow to enjoy the spectacle
If we go to support our mates in a fight/ argument
If we involve ourselves in the action

WE are condoning / perpetuating VIOLENCE and what we are doing IS NOT OK

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING OK?
