Etone College is proud to celebrate the fantastic work of our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors, who have recently completed an important part of their role within the school community. Following their training day, the ambassadors created and delivered an informative presentation during assemblies for Year 7 and Year 8 students, sharing key messages about kindness, respect and the importance of speaking out against bullying.

The ambassadors spoke confidently about how students can support one another and help create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone at Etone College. Their commitment to promoting positive relationships and encouraging students to “tell” trusted adults when concerns arise reflects the values at the heart of our school community.

In recognition of their dedication and leadership, the ambassadors have been awarded the Trustworthy Award, celebrating their contribution to the school’s “Telling School” pledge and their role in helping all students feel heard, supported and safe. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and the positive impact they continue to make across the college.

On Thursday 18^th June Etone College will be hosting our annual rowing challenge this year in support of Papyrus. As the Trust charity for the year, the organisation do invaluable work to support young peoples wellbeing and prevent suicide.
