WHETHER it was prep students on the play gym or P-Plate drivers on the road, Unity College students made it clear that bullying will not be tolerated during their annual Break Down Bully Week.
The week-long event was held during the first week of May with all students at the Caloundra based Uniting/Catholic school participating.
One of the highlights of Break Down Bully Week was the Friendship Circle created by Prep to Year Six students with their Year Ten buddies.
Children were escorted by their senior buddies to the Auditorium where every student formed a spiral holding hands: the message was clear as the students called out together, "Bullying is not cool".
Other initiatives organised throughout the week included a colouring in competition for Junior students, Oz Tag challenge for Middle and Senior students and a community breakfast.
Unity's school counsellors gathered data through pastoral profiles in each grade.
Movies at lunch time, random acts of kindness, anti-bullying videos put together by students, and information for parents reinforced the anti-bullying daily message.
