In a small Okanagan school of just over 750 students, bullying is a near non-existent problem at Princess Margaret Secondary School. With such a small population of Students, the group has become tightly knit and stands together as one. Every year the students organize "Pink Day" a day in which students are inclined to wear pink shirts to show they wont stand by and let people get bullied.
Princess Margaret is a comfortable feeling school where everyone is welcomed and the thought of bullies don't cross the minds of any students. The students fight for an accepting school and a better learning environment for everyone in the student body. Maggie is a fairly new school compared to the other local school Pen-Hi which has nearly double the population of students. Students at Pen-Hi and Princess Margaret both agree that the smaller school is making a bigger impact on bullying and that the bullying problem at Pen-Hi is much worse. Although P.M.S.S may be a smaller school it has more heart and the majority of the student body are connected by friendship, The students get along very well, and like Canada's "N.A.T.O" group the students have an "attack on one is an attack on all" attitude towards bullying and stand up for each other no matter who they are. P.M.S.S is inevitably one of the most bully free schools in not only the Okanagan Valley but in all of Canada.
