SPREAD THE WORD! GMax classes are back on from 5th September!

The younger GMax members returning to school or college in September will face various scenarios, such as perhaps being in the youngest year groups, or being among the most senior in their schools. As martial arts students, or if you see someone being bullied, please remember your anti-bullying techniques. If you see a student looking shy or scared, talk to them, make them feel welcome, and ask if you can help them or show them around.

Always remember, snitches DON’T get stitches! If you report someone for doing something that is wrong, you are not a “snitch" or a "grass", you are the bigger person and you are doing the RIGHT THING! If you suffer in silence, the bad behaviour will just continue or could even get worse!

Don’t forget the three “Ts":-

– TALK to the person causing upset, they might not realise.
– TELL a trusted adult or teacher if the behaviour causing upset doesn’t stop.
– TAKE ACTION to protect yourself or others. This doesn't necessarily mean physical action, but could be a teacher or parent dealing with the person or people causing the upset.

If parents could please pass on the above to your kids it could make a massive difference to someone's school experience.
