Beat the Bully - An effective anti-bullying program

Primary and secondary levels

These are comprehensive guides to enhance your anti-bullying program. The manuals include teacher's notes and lesson plans, an initial and follow-up survey and a draft policy. The aim of the lesson plans is to change the culture of the school and to rally the bystanders so that the whole school community takes responsibility for dealing with bullying.

Brookvale Public School received a National Quality Teaching Award in 2004

"Twelve years ago Sue facilitated a workshop for the staff of Brookvale Public School. We've found the program to be practical, easy-to-use and effective. As the culture of the school has changed, the students have become skilled at resolving conflicts and bullying incidents are now only occasional."
