Stand strong, stay calm and walk away.

That was the anti-bullying advice shared by Melbourne Storm players Billy Slater (pictured left) and Hymel Hunt during their visit to Melton Primary School last Thursday.

The NRL stars are ambassadors for the Tackling Bullying program, which aims to stamp out bullying in Australian schools.

Physical education teacher Vanessa Webb said the school’s 350 pupils responded well to the stories and anti-bullying strategies shared by the players.
