STUDENTS FOR CHANGE: Students (l-r) Krysta Peralto, Taylor DeClerico, Jessica Novak and Danielle Walker brainstorm at the Be the Change! Youth Leadership and Action Day hosted by the Halton Catholic District School Board and Halton Region. Standing up to bullies By Tina Depko OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF See Police page 4 You must be the change you want to see in the world. That famous Gandhi quote served as the theme for an anti-bullying conference hosted by the Halton Catholic District Board and Halton Region last Friday. Two students from each of the Catholic board's 47 elementary and secondary schools attended the event, formally called Be the Change! Youth Leadership and Action Day. The focus of the conference was giving students the opportunity to learn "Everybody is a person and you shouldn't treat people badly. Bullying makes them feel really bad about themselves. Some people can come up to you and call you names and you will think that you are a geek, which is bad." Danielle Walker, Grade 6, St. Brigid School, Halton Hills new skills that could be used in the halls and classrooms to combat the age-old problem of bullying. While they were picking up fresh ideas, students were also sharing initiatives already proving successful in their schools. Danielle Walker, a Grade 6 student at St. Brigid School in Halton Hills, is a member of her school's Peace Team. The Peace Team program, which started last year, works by assigning a virtue to each month. When students around the school are seen practicing that virtue, such as responsibility or respect, they are given a charm they can wear on a necklace or bracelet. "It is all about helping others, like helping someone tie their shoelace," See Conference page 12 SERVING OAKVILLE FOR 25 YEARS! 175 Wyecroft Rd.
