The National Parents Association for Vocational Schools and Community
Colleges (NPAVSCC) Poster campaign To highlight the need for a positive
attitude among post primary students, in VEC sector schools, colleges and
education centres.
The National Parents Association for Vocational Schools and Community Colleges
(NPAVSCC) today 17/9/2009 launched a Poster that will be distributed to
all Schools/Colleges in the VEC Sector in the coming weeks. The Poster was
produced by a working group made up of members from NPAVSCC, IVEA, CEO’s
Association and NPAD. The team was chaired by NPAVSCC and consulted a number
of parties in relation to the impact of bullying on students. The idea of
a poster highlighting respect for each other and the positive impact of
working together was seen as the best way forward for this group. The group
worked with the printing company in the actual design and the final design
was approved by the working Group and with funding from the Irish Public
Bodies Mutual Insurances Ltd. has been launched by the Minister for Education
Mr Batt O Keefe TD at the IVEA AGM in Ennis today.
The poster will be distributed to all VEC Centres and will be placed in
public areas where Students gather to draw attention to the need to have
respect for:
-
Fellow students
-
Teachers
-
Property
-
Need for inclusion
-
Avoid isolation
The Poster, has a number of images and slogans to highlight respect for one self and others.
In addition it is hoped to draw attention to avoid the negative aspects and disrespect that bullying
and being a victim of bullying can bring about. Copies of the poster are available from NPAVSCC
and will be sent to all VEC Sector Schools.
