Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

In 2014, PROJECT ROCKIT was awarded funding from the Telstra Foundation to develop a new online anti-bullying and leadership program for use in Australian schools. The program comprises three 20-minute online workshops. Each workshop is hosted by a young presenter, and includes stories and vignettes of bullying told through audio, video and various graphics. This evaluation report presents findings from semi-structured interviews held with ten Year 7 students from a regional New South Wales school that participated in the PROJECT ROCKIT Online pilot. Interview questions were based around the following four themes: impacts on, and outcomes for, students who participate in PROJECT ROCKIT online; contexts in which young people encounter online and offline bullying; how well young people think their parents and teachers are prepared to support them in dealing with issues of online and offline bullying; and young people's observations of their peers in bullying situations.
