Bullying No Way 2025 Banner

Theme

This year's theme is: Be Bold. Be Kind. Speak Up.

It takes courage to spark change.

Bullying is everyone’s responsibility. It takes a community to be brave and address bullying behaviours, within and beyond the school gate.

Students can be bold, kind and speak up to support others being bullied. Trusted adults are there to support children and young people as they learn how to be kind to each other and report bullying.

This Bullying No Way Week, we’re asking students, schools, families and communities to be bold and say something, be kind and support someone, and be proud to speak up against bullying.

Focus areas

There are many ways to Be Bold. Be Kind. Speak Up.

We’ve developed a range of evidence-informed strategies to help students be bold, be kind, and speak up – fostering a culture of respect and inclusion across your classroom and school.

Watch the videos below for each day of 2025 Bullying No Way Week and start a conversation, share the daily message or complete a short activity with your students. Download some ideas you can use.

During Bullying No Way Week, you can focus on all the strategies or choose ones you’d like to strengthen or celebrate.

Day 1. Be Bold: You have the power to help

Being bold doesn’t mean putting yourself in danger – it means choosing to do what’s right. Standing up shows others that bullying is not accepted.
