Premierians actively engaged in the Anti-Bully Week which began on 6th June 2022 and was concluded on 10th June 2022 with a monologue event about bullying. A monologue is a form of drama where the character speaks to itself. The participants were students from grades 5 to 10 who took part in the contest organized by Mr. Sujan Oli, the Drama teacher at the school. This event was done to officially mark the end of the Anti-Bullying Week. 

The event began at 10:30 am with Ms. Aarshiya Gorkhali and Mr. Arom Pradhan welcoming all the participants and audiences to the event. The students from grade 5 to grade 12 were present during the event. The purpose of the monologue event was to have the participant share their experiences and provide encouraging words to the victims of bullying. The preparation for the monologue began on 3rd June 2022, with the interested people giving their names for the contest and selected students officially presenting their performance on 10th June 2022, at the school auditorium hall.
