Nominate a Local Legend for Bullying Free Week

Bullying-Free Week NZ from 16-20 May is celebrating the positive mahi happening in schools and kura across Aotearoa New Zealand.

As part of the awareness week that culminates in Pink Shirt Day on Friday 20 May, organisers are on the hunt for ‘Local Legends’, inviting everyone to shine a light on the actions – small or big – that people are doing to make a difference and inspire others.

The theme for this year is He kōtuinga mahi iti, he hua pai-ā rau: Small ripples create big waves.

Nominations for Local Legends can be made through the Bullying-Free NZ website, where teachers and kaiako, and students and tamariki, can also download Action Packs.

Activities have once again been organised in conjunction with Pink Shirt Day on Friday, May 20.
