For students in Years 7-12
There is a range of activities to help you plan for Bullying No Way Week. Use the items below to see how you can encourage your school community to participate across the Week.
Teaching and learning activities
Bullying No Way Week provides an opportunity for your students to focus on the concepts of engaging in small actions to achieve big outcomes, so we can all come together and be a powerful protection against bullying.
Throughout the week (17 to 21 August 2026) you can share these activities and start a discussion with students to identify what Small Acts, Big Impact means and what steps can be taken by student peers, staff and members of the wider school community.
The activities have been created for this year’s theme “Small Acts, Big Impact” and are aligned to the Australian Curriculum (Versions 9 and 8.4).
Focus day messages & activities
We’ve developed a range of evidence-informed strategies to help students discover how they can take the opportunity to make things better by turning small moments into positive outcomes—fostering a culture of respect and inclusion across your classroom and school.
Spend 5-10 minutes with your class every day during Bullying No Way Week and focus on all the themes or choose ones you would like to strengthen or celebrate as existing strengths in your school or classroom.
Students can create their own zines, inspired by the examples in the videos, to share their bullying prevention messages.
They could also create a video about their zines and share it with the school community.
