This is the House Captain group. They were asked what makes a child feel important and special at Manor Park and what might get in the way of a child having human dignity.
‘If you are interested or if its fun you can learn better – learning deteriorates when you’re bored.’
‘Being house captains we are closer and talk lots, we are friends now.’
‘If you are doing what you enjoy doing you have human dignity.’
Bullying [gets in the way of having human dignity]. Sometimes it might be the teachers fault if they say ‘just ignore them you’ll be okay’ when someone is being bullied.
[Around a family bereavement] I had a really hard time and no one really knows that I’m hurt.
‘When you talk about things and get it all out, you might feel better. I like talking to my PSA. She understands a lot of things. Every class should have a person like her.’
