Saltus hosted its third annual Pink Shirt Day as part of a global stand against bullying.

Students from both the Pembroke and Devonshire campuses wore pink to symbolise their shared commitment to fostering a culture of integrity, inclusion and belonging.

Pink Shirt Day is a global movement and serves as an anti-bullying initiative embraced by schools and workplaces around the world.

About 750 student and staff members gathered on the athletics field at the upper school on St John’s Road, Pembroke, to form the word “integrity”; one of the school’s core values and this year’s focus.

The visual reflected the school’s belief that integrity means doing what is right, even when no one is watching, while standing up for others with courage and compassion.

Meanwhile, on the Saltus Devonshire campus, about 200 students and staff members gathered together to form a heart shape as a symbol of empathy, kindness and belonging.

Chloe Burns and Jaya Dillas, Saltus’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging prefects, said: “Pink Shirt Day reminds us that integrity is not just a word; it is action. It is choosing kindness, speaking up when something isn’t right and making sure everyone in our community feels they belong.

“When we lead with integrity, we create a community where everyone feels safe, respected and valued. It’s about holding ourselves accountable and making sure our actions match the kind of school we want Saltus to be — one where everyone truly belongs.”

Reflecting on the day, Nadia Robinson, the deputy head of school, expressed her pride in the collaborative effort of staff and students.

She said: “Integrity calls us to act with courage and compassion. Each of us has a choice; to be bystanders, or to be ‘upstanders’ — people who stand up for what is right and create a culture where every individual feels valued and respected. Even the smallest actions can have a lasting impact.”
