🌈 Last week, The King’s Hospital School took meaningful strides to promote inclusion and stand against bullying through a series of engaging events. Aligned with governmental initiatives on cyber safety, anti-bullying, and support for the LGBTQI+ community, these activities resonated with our core values of Curiosity, Integrity, and Compassion.
Students actively participated in CyberSafeKids workshops (Form 1) and the FUSE Anti-Bullying Centre (Form 2), fostering a culture of awareness and empathy. In collaboration with the DCU Anti-Bullying Centre, parents were provided access to essential resources and guidance via websites like the Anti-Bullying Centre and Tackle Bullying.
Stand Up Awareness Week, orchestrated by the Belong To Organisation, empowered our students to combat homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic bullying. The Diversity and Inclusion Committee organised engaging events like a library treasure hunt and a moving full-school chapel service. The highlight was the soul-stirring performance of “I’m Coming Out” by our very own KH Jazz Band and a compelling speech by Ollie Bell from the Belong To Organisation. Ollie’s journey from adversity to acceptance inspired everyone, emphasising the power of using one’s voice for support and change.
The climax of the day was the creation of a human rainbow flag as students and staff donned vibrant colours, symbolising The King’s Hospital School’s commitment to unity in diversity and fostering an inclusive community.
These initiatives reinforce our pledge to stand against all forms of bullying, embrace diversity, and promote kindness and respect in The King’s Hospital School environment. 🏳️🌈✨
