Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors have been working hard to promote kindness, respect and inclusion, and we are looking forward to marking this important day together. To help celebrate, all pupils are invited to come to school with an **odd, crazy or unusual hairstyle**. This fun activity reminds us that every person is unique and special. Just as no two hairstyles will be the same, no two people are the same. We each have our own gifts, talents, personalities and interests, and these differences should be celebrated. As a Catholic school, this links closely to the principle of **Human Dignity** within Catholic Social Teaching. We believe that every person is made in the image and likeness of God and deserves to be treated with love, kindness and respect. By celebrating individuality, we recognise and value the unique qualities that make each member of our school community special. This year's theme,**"Break the Silence,"** encourages everyone to speak up if they see someone being treated unfairly, excluded or hurt. By showing courage, supporting others and standing against bullying, we can help ensure that our school remains a place where everyone feels safe, valued and included. We look forward to seeing everyone's creative hairstyles and working together to celebrate our differences while promoting kindness and respect for all. **A place where we love Jesus, love one another, love learning and love life.** [ Meet Our New Mini Vinnies for 2026/27!](https://www.stjs.org.uk/news/2026-09-25-meet-our-new-mini-vinnies-for-2026-27) [Children in Need 2026 ](https://www.stjs.org.uk/news/2026-11-10-children-in-need-2026) ![St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02.png) ### St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland Rutland Street Sunderland SR4 6HY 0191 510 8484 ### Useful Links - [Website Terms ](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement) - [Privacy Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [FOI](https://bccet.org.uk/freedom-of-information) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsmillfield) © Copyright 2026 St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Sunderland School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stjs.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
