ANTI-BULLYING WEEK

Over the course of the past week, Lycée students participated in various classroom activities to help prevent bullying. The bulletin board pictured above was installed to help remind our older students about internet safety and how to prevent cyber-bullying.

Our Grade 3 students viewed this french clip about bullying , discussed what different forms of bullying can look like (physical, verbal, emotional and cyber), and participated in role playing activities. Students each had a turn playing the role of the bully, the victim and the bystander - providing them with the tools needed to stand up to bullying in any situation.

Our Grade 5 students worked on recognizing bullying in it's different forms, and formulated i-messages in English Language Arts - a strategy that helps student develop conflict resolution skills through sentence building.

Exercises like these provide our students with real-world conflict resolution skills/strategies they can use when they see bullying in action.

Our students (Grade 9-12) had the privilege of having Ilana Krygier Lapides, the Director of Human Rights & Holocaust Education at the Calgary Jewish Federation , and Audrey Mallet from the Montreal Holocaust Museum lead an interactive workshop on the Holocaust. Ilana also donated several (french and english) educational books to the Lycée's collège program.

Students began the workshop listening to short presentation and then viewing a short clip of a Holocaust survivor's testimony, which was followed by group work that had students examine different historical documents, and piece together a timeline of events.
