Camorin Du Plessis took the initiative to organise the anti-bullying campaign pledge at Portland High, with the help of other pupils and staff.
Speaking to News24, 17-year-old Du Plessis said Portland High had always been a school opposed to bullying."We were raising awareness concerning the crime of bullying in honour of Lufuno Mavhunga who was bullied by her schoolmates," said Du Plessis, who is in Grade 11.
On Monday, a notice was issued to pupils to inform them of the anti-bullying campaign pledge. On Tuesday morning, as pupils, teachers and support staff entered the school for Covid-19 screening, they were invited to sign the pledge to show their support for the campaign.
