What does it mean to be a young man today?

That was the question that activities and discussions were based around for the White Ribbon Program, attended by some of our grade 10 boys on Friday 16^th August.

The boys were challenged to look at stereotypes for both men and women and to discuss what it means to be a young man in today’s society. The Bystander Effect was also discussed, with guest speakers sharing their stories of when they were bystanders – and the way that they now reflect on those events.

We’d like to thank the staff from White Ribbon and also, Michael Wickham from the Australian Manufacturers and Workers Union for providing the opportunity for our boys to attend.
