A Reflection On Anti-bullying Week

Anti bullying week was very successful and a great opportunity to develop leadership skills. I tried a variety of styles and learned from my mistakes at parent open night. There were many positives, as well as some negatives. I still have a lot to do for next year.

Positive things were firstly the groupwork. My group was involved in bullying statistics. The research was simple and we knew exactly who was doing it. It was my job to announce the group. Although I was nervous about speaking, I found it easier to speak confidently. Other members of the group had different roles, such as who would do the kahoot question and the pictures. But everyone understood their roles and it all worked out well. Time management was one of the problems. Even though everyone knew what was going on, most of us weren’t using our time effectively during the week. Most people forgot to finish their work and panicked even though they had ample time. The group didn’t know where to put everything, nor how to lay it out, so we rushed to panic. This was because I had ideas and had to have them heard when it came time to put everything on the bristol boards. Everybody wasn’t sure where everything should go. I, however, took initiative and created it for my group. It got the job done, which was the most important thing. The kahoot was the main responsibility of the matrix. It went well. It was really successful.

There were many positives and less negative aspects to Anti Bullying Week. I feel that I have made significant improvements from the previous presentation and have applied the knowledge I gained from it. There were different styles of leadership used in this group project than I had when I was alone during Grade 8. It was a great experience.
