Clarence Youth get mobilised about bullying

Messages to inform and empower school students about bullying are part of the National Youth
Week Travelling Roadshow, which goes to Rokeby High School, Rose Bay High School and
Rosny College from 9 to 11 April. Over 2,500 students and staff are expected to attend the road
shows, which will run over during school lunch times with two strong themes; Bullying – it’s
not on! and Our Voice Our Impact.

Bullying – it’s not on reflects the concerns among young people and the broader community
about the challenging issue of online and offline bullying. The focus on the bullying issue was
identified by the Clarence Youth Network Advisory Group and supported by participating
schools to combine with the National theme Our Voice Our Impact.

Each event has its own unique twist including drama skits at Rokeby High on the Thursday, 9
April. There will be local bands, a free BBQ from the Lions Club, health and well-being
information stalls with interactive activities from Angels Goal, Clarence Road Safety
Partnership, Youth Assist, Mission Australia Youth Beat Van, a chill out zone from headspace,
Sumo wrestling and more.
