Julian Heaven from Year 12 addressed the audience today and spoke on the topic of bullying. He spoke brilliantly and and focused on the positive attributes here at the College.
Julian talked about the diversity of interests and passions within the school community and the fact that these different interests and passions are widely celebrated. He talked about the Joeys culture and that being one of acceptance.
Julian also touched on the types of bullying which we will address in greater detail during pastoral time. The boys were asked to “stand up for what is right” and not to target perceived weaknesses or differences and to in fact, celebrate them. We followed up on this at lunch today and asked the boys to seek the good in themselves and to encourage others to achieve their best.
