Schools competition
We want children and young people to write, create, make or compose something to celebrate this year’s Bullying-Free NZ Week.
The competition is designed for children and young people to create, develop and promote bullying prevention messages through creative media, in line with this year’s theme Let's Talk About It!
It’s a chance for students and schools to promote creativity in dealing with bullying behaviour and to showcase the anti-bullying work of young people across Aotearoa.
Closing date for competition entries is Friday, 1 June 2018. Entry is FREE.
Age groups
Entries will be considered by a panel of representatives from the Bullying Prevention Advisory Group in three groups:
- Junior (Years 1-6)
- Intermediate (Years 7-8)
- Senior (Years 9-13).
Winning entries will be selected from each year group and will receive $500 worth of technology or other resources of their choice for their school. All students involved in the award-winning entries will each receive a Bullying-Free NZ Award Certificate.
The winning entries will be published on the Bullying-Free NZ website. Check out last year’s winners for ideas and inspiration!
