I can't tell you how proud I am of the students who took part. 100 awards wouldn't make me feel as good about what we do at RedTIE as this!!!
We have had really good feedback from teachers and students about the performance - both its content and the way in which it was delivered.
RedTIE theatre were recently commisioned by Steve Hoyle, Commissioning Manager for Behaviour, Attendance and SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning) to put together an Anti-bullying performance for a teachers' conference at the end of October this year.
10 RedTIE theatre students took part in the production which was extremely well received. Since then, we have performed the 15 minute piece to all the students at Bishop Lovett, Lake and Osborne Middle schools as part of their Anti-bullying week (this week - 16th-20th Nov).
Lake Middle school students also took part in 2 days of follow-up workshops led by Helen Reading of RedTIEtheatre. The workshops are designed to encourage discussion about bullying and for students to create their own drama to show how they feel about the subject and how it could be tackled in schools.
The script for the performance was put together by Helen but all the stories and every word used came from real life experiences of victims, perpetrators and witnesses of bullying on the Island.
"Please pass on my thanks to your actors - I think they were brilliant and coped really well with some interesting and difficult reactions from their audience and thank you also for another set of excellent workshops. The pupils got a lot out of it." Samantha Aukhauj - Lake Middle School.
