SAATCHI GALLERY NOW EXHIBITING YOUR FAVOURITE ELEPHANTS IN THE GALLERY
|
| Deputy Children's Commissioner Sue Berelowitz joins children from Smitham Primary (Croydon), Brady Primary (Rainham), The Chafford High School (Rainham) and Christ Church Middle School (Stone) to celebrate the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation's launch of a brand new art exhibition created for Anti Bullying Week (16th - 20th November) at the Saatchi Gallery.

Peer mentors play an important role in helping to combat bullying by being the eyes and ears of the playground. Led by peer mentors, fifteen schools from across England have created elephant sculptures patterned with hard-hitting anti-bullying messages to form part of this unique national art project. The children invited other schools from across the UK to take inspiration from the herd and vote for their favourite elephant online. Deputy Children's Commissioner Sue Berelowitz announced the winners that will go on display at the gallery. In first place was UNITY from Headlands School in Bridlington who will now go in exhibition with HARMONY from Featherstone Wood Primary, Stevenage, RAFIKI from Smitham Primary, Couldson and STOMP from Brady Primary with The Chafford School in Rainham.
Having made their London debut, the rest of the herd will now be making its way up north to go on display throughout Anti Bullying Week at the renowned Bolton Lads and Girls Club.
The four elephants that received the most votes and are now on display in the Saatchi Gallery are:
