This year, the theme is ‘Break the Silence’. During this week, we will be thinking about how each of us has the Power to Break the Silence. That means we all have the power to be kind, to include others, and to speak up if we see someone being unkind or hurt.

We will also be taking part in Odd Socks Day, a day to show our awareness of Anti-Bullying Week and to celebrate what make us all unique. On Monday the 16th of November, we encourage our whole school community to wear odd socks.
