The 2023 NDA theme, 'Growing connections', focused on the importance of building strong school community connections and social skills to help prevent bullying. The NDA also provided an opportunity for schools to create a shared understanding about bullying behaviours, and outline bullying prevention policies at their school.
Teachers can continue to use the growing connections teaching and learning activities at any time during the school year to help children and young people to identify and grow positive connections with their peers and school community.
In 2024, the NDA will be held on Friday 16 August. Registrations will open during Term 2 2024.
