2nd November 2023 has been marked as International Day Against School Violence and Bullying including Cyberbullying under the theme “No place for fear: Ending school violence for better mental health and learning”. 

The strong links between mental health and violence in school are worrying; experiences such as violence, bullying and discrimination at school can contribute to poor mental health and affect learning, while feelings of safety are linked to better mental health and education outcomes. 

On this International Day against violence and bullying at school, including cyberbullying, the students at Carmel Convent School were shown a short movie about bullying which was followed by a discussion about the same.
