Respect me is Scotland’s Anti-Bullying Service and it has recently launching a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of cyberbullying. The campaign aims to educate adults about the issues surrounding cyberbullying, and encourages them to connect with children and young people to promote the safe and responsible use of mobile technologies. Much like the philosophy of our own strategy to engage with parents over Internet Safety Issues.
respectme recently
also joined forces with the Scottish Government to launch a
competition for schools and youth groups across Scotland. Groups of
individuals were being asked to design a cyberbullying leaflet, outlining the
type of information they thought it would be useful to know. The respectme website has some really
useful information on it.
Musselburgh Grammar School submitted
nearly 50 high-quality entries for the competition. All of the entries were researched,
designed and printed by our S3 Graphic Communication classes. Part of the
assessment for Standard Grade Graphics is to design a leaflet for others, so the
classes work for the competition also contributed towards their course work.
For me this is a good example of the Curriculum for Excellence in action.
