Bullying talk at Woy Woy

The Peninsula Cultural Cafe will host a talk entitled "Bullying - The Bigger Picture" at Woy Woy Public School on Friday, November 15, from 9:15am until 11:30am.

The Cultural Cafe guest speaker will be Ms Gail Laczkowski, student welfare consultant for Public Schools NSW.

Ms Laczkowski will discuss why, in a school environment, both the child who is bullied and the child doing the bullying, need to be supported to prevent further incidents of bullying.

She will explain how parents, students and teachers all have a role to play in understanding how to build resilience and develop empathy in children as a preventative measure to bullying.

Participants will have the opportunity to be involved in a discussion about ways schools can implement programs to address bullying and share the resources that are available to help parents support their child at home.

They can ask questions and have an informal discussion over morning tea.

Everyone is welcome to attend.
