As part of the National day of Action Against bullying and Violence, Maddy Leggett and Jazmine Cowling, student leaders at Elizabeth College, are co-directing a video on cyberbullying.
Maddy said "We want to get the message across to EC students and parents that you don't have to put up with cyberbullying. It affects all parties involved. Here at EC we have friendly processes for parents and students to resolve difficult situations. So speak up."
They have created a story board of their intended video and have already cast the actors for roles of the person who bullies, the one who is bullied, the counsellor and the parents. The first scene shows inappropriate texts on devices. The second scene shows both the one who bullies and the one being bullied saying "What have I done?" but with slightly different intonations. They want to get across that both people end up being victims in a drama. Then we see a scene where the counsellor sits down with all parties and begins a restorative shared method of concern conversation. "How are people feeling?"
The girls plan to start filming this week and intend to edit with iMOVIES. They will then show the video to parents and students of the school on Facebook to build awareness about Cyberbullying and pathways to resolving issues. They are supported by teacher, Anne Romeo, who is running the Student Leadership Group.
