MHJC have accepted the challenge to ‘Speak Up’ and ‘Stand Together’ to stop bullying and spread kindness through a range of Pink Shirt Day celebrations on Friday 18th May.

Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying, mobilising their whole school, after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt.

In New Zealand, Pink Shirt Day aims to create schools, workplaces and communities where all people feel safe, valued and respected.
