SAY NO TO BULLYING POSTER COMPE TITION
In 2018, we ran our annual Say No To Bullying Poster Competition for
primary school students for the 5th year. With over 48,000 students
across Australia registering to take part, the competition once again
provided an opportunity to put bullying in the spotlight. Students
were given a chance to express their voice through art and educators
were given the chance to identify bullying behaviours that came
to the surface as a result of the competition. Twentieth Century
Fox partnered with Interrelate this year, for the theme Bulllieve in
Yourself, in conjunction with the release of their children’s animation
‘Ferdinand’.
11 year old Trinity Sheridan from Alstonville won 1 st place in the
competition and attended a prestigious awards ceremony at NSW
Government House in May. The Awards Ceremony provided a
platform for us to encourage the students to:
• stand up for what they believe in
• not let others determine their value
• see how a positive view of others can help others see their own
capabilities
His Excellency NSW Governor David Hurley and his wife Mrs Hurley
supported the competition as Interrelate’s patron. The competition
garnered widespread media exposure for Interrelate, with 61 news
articles published and a significant increase to our social media
followers.
