Do It For Dolly Day is all about bringing the community together, spreading kindness and uniting to help break the silence around bullying — and that’s just what they were doing at Bourchier St Primary School on Friday, May 12.
The day is an initiative of Dolly’s Dream, the charity set up by Tick and Kate Everett in memory of their daughter Amy ‘Dolly’ Everett.
Dolly tragically took her own life aged just 14 after experiencing an extended period of bullying and cyberbullying.
Dolly’s Dream, and Do It For Dolly Day in particular, supports anti-bullying campaigns that provide vital education about bullying prevention.
People participating in the day were invited to dress or decorate in blue, Dolly’s favourite colour, and to share the Dolly’s Dream message to be kind and speak, even if your voice shakes.
Lean on us: Year 6 students Brea Morritt-Scott and Ruby Drake offer Prep Kallem Rogers some support.
