LAUNCH OF THE NATIONAL ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN INITIATIVE

school — Dance at Adrian T. Hazell Primary School

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and UKAID is sponsoring this week launch of National Anti-bullying Campaign Initiative, starting in the primary school system on Anguilla. The Ministry of Social Development through its Safeguarding Children in Anguilla Project Team is coordinating the campaign.

The launch takes the shape of a dance performance choreographed to an original theme song written to convey the necessary positive messages. Mr. Bernard Wattley is the creative mind behind the theme song, dubbed ‘A Better Place’; the Ministry is indeed grateful for his contribution to the campaign. Likewise, a special thank you is extended to the Albena Lake Hodge Comprehensive School Choir, and their Director Mrs. Daphne Jacobs – Richardson, who recorded the theme song for its release to the public during the launch event.

Also contributing, is Klassique Academy of Dance and Performing Arts and From Within Dance who collaborated to choreograph the dance performance that is being presented throughout the primary school system. Kudos to the dance teachers and students who ensured that they learned and practiced the routine that is being rolled out on site at the six public primary schools. The two private primary schools on island, Omololu International School and Central Christian School, have also been invited to view the performance.
