Global Citizenship will be the whole school theme for the year, with assemblies and lessons exploring themes each term. Students will gain experiences in global citizenship education across different subjects. There will also be opportunities for students to join committees and groups to help coordinate charity fundraising and global issues. The document encourages students to get involved in the various activities to learn about being a global citizen.
4. Global Citizenship is a for all ages from S1-6. However, in
S2 it will be our whole school theme for the year.
Each term will start with an assembly explaining the
theme. During the term you will experience Global
Citizenship education in a variety of lesson in different
faculties. There will also be whole school events for our
chosen themes.
Each term will end with a week of house assemblies
delivered by a group of YOU explaining what you have
learned and experienced that term.
Thinking Globally – Acting Locally!
5. To help coordinate all this work there will be a
Citizenship Committee made up of a few teachers and
mainly pupils. There will also be a charities committee
to coordinate the charity fundraising in the school which
will also need pupils to volunteer for.
There will also be whole school groups which you can
chose to join such as Fair Trade and Amnesty
International run by teachers at lunchtimes or after
school.
There is enough going on for you to have no excuse for
not getting involved.
More information will come
during register periods.
