Be Kind, Lend a Hand
Entries for Interrelate’s 6th Say No To Bullying Poster Competition for Australian primary school students have closed and finalists have been announced! An Awards Ceremony will be held later in 2019 to announce the winner.
Congratulations to all the schools and students who took part this year. The theme in 2019 was Be Kind, Lend a Hand and over 38,000 students registered to be involved.
Schools who achieved 100% participation
- Meandarra State School QLD
- Mt Pritchard Public School NSW
- Berowra Christian School NSW
- St Joseph’s Primary School Finley NSW
- Julia Creek State School QLD

The aim of this competition is to raise awareness of bullying and to assist schools and organisations to identify and address bullying behaviours in their communities. We are working with you to build a community of upstanders who will say no to bullying.
Participating schools have expressed that the competition helped them engage young people in a dialogue about bullying and allowed them to address issues that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
What was involved
Students drew a picture depicting their interpretation of the competition theme ‘Be Kind, Lend a Hand’.
Be Kind Lend A Hand theme song
In 2019 we had a song and video clip especially for use with the competition. Check out the clever clip from the students at Mt Pritchard Public School.
How you can use the theme song in your school
- sing it in your classroom or assembly
- use it for your school bell
- make your own video to send us
