Welcome to the Anti-Bullying Committee page,
Here we will post pictures and events details here as the year progresses.
For your information, the Anti-Bullying Committee members for 2024/2025 are;
Teaching staff: Ms. Fogarty, Ms. Buckley and
Mr. O’Sullivan.
Children from the student council are also members of the Anti- Bullying Committee.
Our first event was last week when we celebrated Safer Internet Day on Tuesday the 11th of February. The ABC committee went around with activities from Webwise.ie, our Cyber Safety Rules and other age appropriate material from Twinkl which is linked below. Afterwards the children handed out colouring sheets from Webwise.ie and the children were told that the best attempt would get a homework pass. There was great feedback from the day and the children showed great maturity with their responses.

Here are the winners from the Safer Internet Day colouring competition, well done everyone!! Enjoy the homework pass!
Friendship Week!
We, the Anti-Bullying Committee, joined forces with Ms. Fogarty and the Student Council a few years ago. We found that the committee and the council were overlapping so much that it made sense to amalgamate. Friendship Week will be coming soon and our aim will be to encourage children in the school to be friendly towards each other. We have used video clips from the website www.antibullyingcampaign.ie (have a look at the website- it’s really useful)to encourage friendship and respect in the junior end of the school. In the senior end the video clips will aim to raise awareness of bullying.
We are aiming to send the Anti-Bullying Committee children around the school with a short power point presentation which will include the fore-mentioned short video clips on friendship/bullying. The committee children will leave each class with some questions that the class teacher can go over with their class. We are also requesting that the children wear something yellow on Tuesday. Yellow will represent friendship whilst taking part in the whole school skipping event. . Thanks from the Anti-Bullying Committee.
As the year progresses we will post pictures and other information applicable.
