The Ivor Walter Primary School (IWPS) will be holding an event entitled: “Anti-Bullying Parents Potpourri” next Wednesday (October 26th) on the school grounds, as part of their anti-bullying campaign.
Bullying according to stopbullying.gov “is unwanted aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated or has the potential to be repeated, over time”.
The event is intended for adults only and there will be musical entertainment, cocktails including Hors D’oeuvres and more for the attendees.
Attendees are also encouraged to wear white for the event. Monetary donations will be accepted towards the school’s anti-bullying campaign.

Mr. Brantley is a past student of the school. In delivering the cheque to Head Teacher – Mrs. Janice Whittaker-Richards and Mrs. Shevonne Lowe, he was quoted as saying: “bullying remains a problem in our schools and wider community so I am truly happy to partner with IWPS on this important initiative.”
