GAU Group of Schools Say NO To Bullying


Students of American College and Future American College which provides education under Girne American University (GAU) Group of Schools, has created awareness with the slogan of “NO to Bullying”.

Students in the last week of November each year, organize events to raise awareness of bullying. The activities are addressed to the social, physical and psychological violence issues, the students who came to school dressed in the colour blue, to symbolize peace, said NO to bullying by flying blue balloons up into the sky. The students were informed about children`s rights and school masters, teachers and students paid a visit to the surrounding schools.

American College Counseling Service Expert Psychologist - Düriye Çelik stated that – “We are going to inform the students with posters and brochures with this year’s slogan “`let`s unite against bullying” during the week. We inform students with discussions at courses and information seminars about what is bullying, what are the causes, what are the consequences and how can it be stopped. Bullying can cause depression, anxiety, insecurity, school phobia, loneliness, emotional problems, academic failure, physiological problems and issues that may go as far as suicide. When they witness or are exposed to any bullying, they need to inform their teacher, school counselor or family members immediately.”

Headmaster Aysu Balkanlar stated that they were the first school that touched upon the bullying issue and expressed that they think of raising awareness in the young generation as a social responsibility.
