Year 9 have recently been studying the atrocities of the Holocaust and have been shocked at the horrors of the Nazi genocide.
One of the many lessons we learn from teaching the Holocaust is how not to be a bystander in the face of persecution and injustice so in today’s lessons pupils have been reading and learning about the current genocide taking place in the Xinjiang province of China against the Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities. To take a stand on this matter, pupils have been writing impassioned letters to their local MPs to demand action be taken on their behalf.
If you would like to find out more on this matter please follow the Amnesty International link and sign the petition to take action immediately. https://xinjiang.amnesty.org/
Year 9 Bronze Duke of Edinburgh qualifying expedition in the Cotswolds. A really good day for the 13 teams doing their assessed expedition, this time including camping. Thank you to all the teachers involved.
Thank you to PC Lund for delivering a police presentation and workshop to Year 9 students as part of our Sexual Violence Awareness week. PC Lund spoke to students about sexual harassment and how the police deal with this.
Year 9 Drama Students have been making use of the outside rehearsal space in preparation for their showcase later this year. The class have been devising their own performances from a stimulus, using skills they have developed throughout the year!
A wetter day today, but high spirits all round from the 13 teams. We were really impressed by the excellent attitude and perseverance of all the groups who were a credit to Southam College
