The Anti-bullying Programme started due to the increase in the violent behaviour of learners at both primary and secondary schools. The Foundation for Sport, Development, and Peace understood that intervention was required as lives are being lost as a result of the intensity of persistent bullying endured by the victims. The bullying spun out of control and resulted in the suicides of high school students. This issue is a major one at schools in all provinces and globally. FSDP is currently offering the Anti-bullying programme in the Cape Winelands area, Franschhoek to two primary schools namely Wes-Eind Primary School and Groendal Primary School and a high school namely, Groendal High School. The programme has been offered to learners from schools in Cape Town surrounding areas namely Crestway High School, Steenberg High School, Lavender Hill High School, Lavana Primary School, Hillwood Primary School and Zerilda Primary School.

FSDP aims to expand the programme to reach more schools in surrounding areas and ultimately to schools in the Western Cape ,the rest of South Africa, Africa and globally. Since the programme has been actively presented, there has been a significant shift in student behaviour and attitude in the current schools. The objectives that drive the anti-bullying programme have been accepted by the schools and implemented into their learning environment. The most challenging students are more disciplined and display non-violent behaviour thanks to our Anti-Bullying Programme.
