STUDENTS at the Chase in Malvern have been spelling out the school's stance against bullying - literally.

Year Seven students assembled on the school's playing field off Geraldine Road to spell out the word CARE - symbolising the anti-bullying policies that the school operates.

A school spokesman said: "The Chase has been a hive of activities during this year’s Anti-Bullying Week.

"At The Chase we are very passionate about our student’s welfare. Having time to talk about what bullying is and how we can eradicate it within our school as much as possible has been a great focus for this week.

"All students in Years Seven and Eight have been working on a vast array of anti-bullying messages and slogans, producing posters that are now on display in the school.

"We delivered a very informative presentation by Steve Clare from Stand Against Violence on different forms of bullying, the signs of bullying and how we can all help, to all students from Years Eight to Ten.

"We have held an anti-bullying curriculum day where all faculties have engaged the students with an anti-bullying theme within their lessons.

"CARE at The Chase offers information, advice and guidance to The Chase Community, promoting a culture of Caring for yourself and other. This can be found on the school’s website and on displays throughout the school.

"Our anti-bullying week ended with students taking part in Odd Socks Day, to celebrate what makes us and others, unique and understand that it’s important to choose respect. We hope that this memorable week for our students will have a lasting positive affect in the school."
