Strategies on how to combat bullying involved a throng of pink shirt, ribbon and grin wearing Girls’ High students for Pink Shirt Day on Friday. The international awareness day encourages people around the world to talk about bullying and find ways to reduce it in the community. School Guidance prefect Paige Mackenzie, organised a week of activities, including support sessions for year 9 and 10 pupils. The school’s year 13 students spent the week visiting year 9 and 10 classrooms to offer advice on how to handle situations when bullying occurs. ‘‘It’s just to provide them with tools and advice about how they can help out and know what to do if someone’s being bullied,’’ Paige says. This interaction between year groups was important because the older students provided the younger ones with good role models. ‘‘They look up to them and bullying normally can start at a young age, so having that support there early on is good.’’ Guidance prefect Paige Mackenzie, 18, hugs fellow student Olivia Claridge, 17, as Palmerston North Girls’ High School students wear pink to show their support for Pupils learned how to cor- an anti bullying campaign.

Have you played today? The Inter- national Toy Library Association World Play Day is this Saturday, a reminder that play benefits all ages. And a Manawatu Toy Library collection of more than 2000 toys should offer plenty of incentive for parents and caregivers to release their inner and outer child. Manawatu Toy Library president Emma Ochei says the week leading up to May 28 is Toy Library Awareness Week, which culminates in Saturday’s Play Day, celebrated by toy libraries around the world since 2001. Emma says to mark the week they’re doing more of what they do well – encouraging the celebration of fun, creativity, expression and learning through play. ‘‘The theme is ‘play for all ages’; play is great for connecting to children, and adults should be encouraged to join in. ‘‘Adults benefit from using their imagination, slowing down their busy lives, and being present for their children. ‘‘You forget about the other worries in your life, and stress, and you can take time to really enjoy yourself.’’ The Pedley twins, Grace, left, and Kate, enjoy a play date at the Manawatu Toy Library as World Play Day approaches.
