Roosevelt learners march for kindness

Roosevelt Academy’s young campaigners proudly raise their voices against bullying during the school’s annual march.

Platinum Bushvelder newspaper | Thabazimbi – Roosevelt Academy learners took a firm stand against bullying during the school’s annual Anti-Bullying March on Friday, 14 August 2026.

Learners from Grade 1 to Grade 7 marched from the school in Vanadium Street to the circle at Thabazimbi Mall, accompanied by teachers and members of the Thabazimbi Local Traffic Department.

The school launched its anti-bullying campaign in 2024 as part of its zero-tolerance approach. This year, every learner signed a pledge displayed on a tree-shaped banner, with each named branch symbolising a shared commitment to kindness and respect. Roosevelt Academy has challenged other schools and businesses to support the campaign, reminding the community that keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility.
