World’s Largest Lesson
All pupils in SLC recently took part in the ‘World’s Largest Lesson’. This involved learning about the Global Goals in all subjects across SLC. Pupils discovered that the Global Goals are goals that leaders across the world have agreed to work towards in order to help tackle important issues such as world poverty, hunger and climate change.
Each class then came up with an ‘idea for change’. This involved running a campaign or a project in the school or local community which will help contribute towards the achievement of the Global Goals. Some of the Global Goals ‘Ideas for Change’ projects pupils have been leading in SLC include:
- ‘Stop the Drop’ anti-litter rap and campaign
- Battery recycling project
- Beach clean
- Creation of a compost bin and a campaign to highlight and tackle the issue of food waste in the school
- A clothing recycling project
- A Food Bank
- A ‘switch off’ campaign to conserve energy in the school.
- Regular litter picks around the campus and in the local community
These are great examples of pupils in SLC speaking out and taking action in support of the Global Goals, and children’s rights!
