Proudly supporting Bullying No Way: National week of action
This year Boronia Heights Primary School will be participating in the Bullying No Way: National week of action, 17 to 21 August 2026.
Bullying No Way Week is a commitment being made by thousands of schools and supporters across the country. It provides an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to bullying prevention. It gives us an opportunity to connect with students, staff and school communities to implement workable solutions to prevent bullying.
The theme for this year’s campaign is Small Acts, Big Impact.
It takes a community to address bullying behaviours, within and beyond the school gate.
Students can make a big impact through small acts of kindness and support for others being bullied. Trusted adults are there to guide children and young people as they learn how small, thoughtful actions can create a positive difference and encourage reporting of bullying.
This Bullying No Way Week, we’re encouraging you to embrace the theme Small Acts, Big Impact. Show kindness, support others and take meaningful steps to stand up against bullying.
In Week 6, our students will take part in multi-age activities to explore how they can use Small Acts, Big Impact. As part of these activities, our Year 3 students will visit Alchester Village Pre-School to buddy up with the kindergarten children and participate in a range of fun, age-appropriate activities that promote kindness, inclusion and respect. Together, they will learn how small acts of kindness can make a big difference and help create safe, supportive communities where everyone feels they belong.

Wear It Purple Day – Friday 28 August
“Courage is not just expressed in big moments, but in everyday choices to live proudly and invite others into understanding, acceptance and celebration.”
On Friday 28 August, our school will be recognising Wear It Purple Day, a day that celebrates kindness, respect and inclusion, and reminds everyone that they belong.
Students are invited to wear a small touch of purple with their school uniform. This could be a purple ribbon, hair tie, socks, scrunchie, headband, wristband or badge. Wearing a splash of purple is a simple way to show that we value diversity and that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported and included at school.
We look forward to seeing our school community come together to celebrate kindness and inclusion!
