Rights Respecting School
We are very proud to announce we have been awarded the UNICEF BRONZE award for Rights Respecting Schools.
We are now working towards our SILVER award and focusing on :
Article 12
Children have the right to give their opinions freely on issues that affect them. Adults should listen and take children seriously.
Article 13
Children have the right to share freely with others what they learn, think and feel, by talking, drawing, writing or in any other way unless it harms other people.
Article 23
Every child with a disability should enjoy the best possible life in society. Governments should remove all obstacles for children with disabilities to become independent and to participate actively in the community.
