Whinhill Primary Rights Respecting Robert
Whinhill Primary, Rights Respecting Robert Citizenship AwardWhinhill Primary School in Inverclyde recently held a competition for pupils to develop a school mascot to promote children’s rights. The design chosen is Rights Respecting Robert – and he is now displayed around the school. Now when pupils, staff, parents or visitors walk around the school, they know if they see Rights Respecting Robert, that children’s rights are displayed. This is helping everyone to learn more about rights, and see where links can be made.
Whinhill Primary have also went further, and have recently introduced a ‘Rights Respecting Citizen’ award for pupils incorporating Rights Respecting Robert.
Rights Respecting Robert talks about rights in English and in Gaelic, to ensure that the rights message is spread equally around the school. Whinhill Primary in Greenock offers English and Gaelic education.
