The thoughtful students at St Paul’s School, Coburg, have been busy spreading the love.

The school came together on 19 March to celebrate the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence in advance, after the official event on 20 March was postponed due to COVID-19.

The whole school took a no-bullying pledge, proudly wore anti-bullying orange ribbons and created a ‘Kindness Tree’ full of lovely messages from the students themselves.

School librarian Angela Gangi said the tree was made as a way to focus on kindness and positivity, rather than negative words and bullying.
