At Hautlieu we take your rights seriously. The school works to ensure you can access your right to education in a safe, supportive and healthy environment where you can feel free to develop, free from discrimination. There is a broad range of curricular and extra curricular activities on offer to help you find your passion and to develop your understanding of the world and your place in it as a Global Citizen.
As a student at Hautlieu you have the opportunity to get involved in the decisions that affect you and your education by joining or giving your support and ideas to the Student Council, the RRS focus group or any of the school committees. It is here that students discuss their ideas and get help to bring them to life and student driven initiatives are helping to shape your school life and ensure that you and others are able to access you rights.
Through learning about your own rights you are also recognising that rights exist for all and will be encouraged to consider the rights of others in the local and Global community. Sustainability, economics, climate, poverty, health, peace, justice and the environment- there is no issue, law or event that is free from impact on children. At Hautlieu you will have the opportunity to research and act for the issues that interest you, to choose charities to support or develop service projects to help others.
The Student Council have been working on a new Hautlieu School Charter and having consulted with the student body, will be launching the final version later this term.
The RRS Focus group have been working on the Silver Award Application and have also created some mentor time activities to get you thinking about how you are accessing your rights.
International Children’s Day started by getting the whole school out onto the Astro for the a whole school photo. We just about managed it between the hail showers and a big thanks to the IT staff who helped make that possible. A number of Hautlieu students then attended the launch of the Office of the Children’s Commissioner Video on Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which affirms every child’s right to express their views freely on matters affecting them and calls on adults to listen and take those views seriously – and the role you play in making this a reality. You can see that video here. Our Say, Our Right Meanwhile in school, students got to see the first draft of the new school Charter.
If you (student or parent) have an idea or view you’d like to share, or you’d like to be involved in teaching Rights as part of the Y10 PSHE programme or rights mentor programme, please use the contact form below and selecting Rights Respecting Schools from the Subject Dropdown.
