Rights Respecting Schools

We are excited to share that we are now working to become a Rights Respecting School.

What is a Rights Respecting School?

In a Rights Respecting School, children, young people and the school community learn about children’s rights, putting them into practice every day. The Award is not just about what children do but also, importantly, what adults as duty bearers do for children’s rights.

We have a rights respecting focus group, we welcome:

P7a – Millie K and Lucca

P7b – Frazer and Reo

P6a – Alba and Ramsay

P6b – Claire and Milo

P5/6 – Leah and Elise

P5 – Lara and Kai

P4/5 – Elle and Jamie

We look forward to working together to ensure we are putting children’s rights at the heart of our school.

We are going to focus on a ‘Right of the Month’ in class. Below are the rights we will focus on

this term:

 

Month Right of the Month
January Article 31 – You have the right to play and relax by doing sport, music and drama. (International Day of Education 24th January 2024)
February Article 13 – You have the right to find out things and say what you think unless it harms the rights of others. (Safer Internet Day 6th February 2024)
March Article 27 – You have the right to a good standard of living.

(International Women’s Day 8th March, World Sleep Day 15th March)

We are thrilled to be beginning this journey, and we look forward to continuing to develop our school community.

Thank you,
