The halls of St. Benedict Catholic School in Sudbury were a sea of pink today in support of Bullying Prevention week.

The students and staff are choosing to call it Inclusivity week which brings a more positive spin to the subject and looks at bringing people together in efforts to break down barriers.

Each day, quotes about inclusivity are being read on the announcements, with items planned such as a pink day, a parent council meeting themed on mental health and growth mindset as well as a Superhero day complete with a Breakfast of Champions tomorrow that supports a school chosen charity.

There is a new uniformed police officer who will be visiting English high schools in the city.

Stefany Mussen began her duties this week and today she received a tour of St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School, one of the schools on her roster.

She introduced herself to a number of students in the building in an effort to ensure they know who she is and approach her about issues or questions they have on future visits.

Mussen replaces Constable Hally Willmott who serviced a number of high schools for a number of years.
