Abstract
This chapter is a continuation of the Anti-Bullying program outlined in Chapter 3 that was presented at Sekolahku-MySchool (SMS) during the years 2005–2009: This chapter covers the implementation of the same program during the years 2009–2015. SMS is an inclusive school that integrates children with different special needs into a regular school setting. Rich data from many sources, video, photographic, teacher observations, parent feedback, and children’s own work are presented as evidence of the successful application of the program. Analysis of data drawn mainly from children’s own work during the whole year program 2010-2012, showed five definite topic groups that emerged as important. The groups were ‘Class Rules’, ‘Friendship’, ‘Same and Different’, ‘Teasing and Bullying’ and ‘What should we do?’ Children’s illustrations provide evaluations of their learning and understanding of the different aspects of the program. The chapter concludes with brief case studies of three children who transferred into SMS after being bullied at their previous school or in their home environment.

Notes
- 1.
As some children took their drawings home and some were destroyed, data is drawn from books made by the children, teachers’ notes and reports. Drawings used in this documentation were detailed quantitatively as many (more than 5), few (between 2 and 5) or only one illustration of a particular learning.
- 2.
A ‘kampung’ is a grouping of 50 or more residences in which whole families have lived often for generations. These families frequently have many children who all play together and form very close kinship groups.
- 3.
Each boy’s initial has been changed to protect his identity.
- 4.
Each area of Indonesia has traditional dances that have been handed down through generations. In E’s kampung at the end of the dance, the dancers enter a trance-like state: E was copying this state.
