HNHS: A Good Place 2B
In 2017 an anonymous survey was undertaken of all students
from years 9-13, with the purpose of understanding how
bullying affects students at Havelock North High School.
Following this, a working group was established to look at
issues and how to address them. Whilst most students felt
that HNHS was a safe and inclusive place, this was not the
experience for all. •
During 2018 the inaugural group of staff/students have
set the foundation for future students to build on. Projects
selected throughout 2018 have focused on feedback from
the 2017 survey. Projects have included:
• Pink Shirt Day 2018
• Developing a logo for group (Imre)
• Poster campaigns
• ’Choose 2B the Change’
• Kayla Simpson Artwork Posters with anti-bullying
themes
• Schoology Messages - linked to poster campaign
around school
• Assembly promotion of group and projects/ regular
invitations to students to attend and participate in the
group. •
•
•
Anonymous Box: sited in Student Centre where
students can report concerns, share information, ask
for help, provide comments to the group. This feedback
is initially viewed by the School Guidance Counsellor
(who manages student privacy). Students include on
feedback who they would like to view feedback.
Design of badge making group members easily
identifiable (students can then approach)
Fundraising to offset costs associated with group. We
have appreciated the generous donations from the
Hastings City Council (Mayoral Fund) and the Havelock
North Rotary Club in assisting with purchasing badges.
We appreciate their support.
Schoology update bullying messages in Term four.
Lunchtime meetings have been a mix of discussion,
planning, project coordination and students especially
should be very proud of what they have contributed over
the course of the year. A task moving forward is to consider
further ways to grow the group. Meetings are open to any
students who support Havelock North High School being a
welcoming and inclusive place for all students.
