Friday the 23rd May Aotearoa celebrated PINK SHIRT DAY.  PSD was started in Canada in 2007 by a teacher who was upset when he saw a boy severly bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school.  He along with all the 9th Grade students decided to wear pink shirts and take a stand against the bullies in their school. In 2009 the movement was adopted in NZ. 

This year we decide to spread the Anti Bully message to our Te Puke community.  We had awesome support from the retailers who dressed their windows, the local primary schools who allowed us a chance to talk to their tamariki and  the general public who took our promo packs and wore their Pink Shirt Day stickers with pride.
Karena and Kasey Bird was fantastic ambasadors and they did a awesome job being great Anti Bully rolemodels for our tamariki and stuuning judges for our window display competition.  Thanks ladies you are both TOO MUCH!  
For us Pink Shirt Day is about staring conversations around bullying.  The more it is talked about the better. Remember wear your invisible pink shirt every day. 
Mauriora!
