School Sectors Unite To Tackle School Violence

A new alliance between state, independent and Catholic schools has been established to implement world’s best practice measures to help address the growing problem of schoolyard bullying and violence.

The aim of the Queensland Schools Alliance Against Violence is to work cooperatively between sectors to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all Queensland students. Premier Anna Bligh said it had become difficult for teachers and parents to control the 21st century school environment, with the playground now extending to “cyberspace and beyond”.

The Alliance will work with key academics, violence prevention organisations, protection agencies and international experts and make recommendations directly to government.
