Year 10 Formation Day

During Activities Week, Year 10 students participated in their annual Formation Day. The theme of this day, ‘Who is Your Neighbour?’ explored the very important issue of bullying, looking at the impact this can have on individuals, their families, and the broader community, and considered how they can be “a neighbour” and support those suffering from bullying.

During this day, students viewed the eye-opening US documentary Bully which follows the lives of five students who are bullied, over one school year. This confronting documentary encouraged very positive discussion on how we, as a school community, can help eliminate bullying at Carroll College.

Small group sessions explored this issue further. One of the activities students participated in was the creation of a pledge wall. Each student made a pledge about how they would help eliminate bullying in our school or support those being bullied. These pledges will be displayed this Friday as one of our initiatives for the National Day Against Bullying.
