Hulme Grammar School Senior Co-Curricular Programme

Co-Curricular Programme

A-C

Open to all students from Year 7 to 13. Students will study and learn about the various human rights violations that occur all over the world after gaining a basis for understanding the legal standing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Each week, students in groups will present to the rest of the club a case study and as a group, we will decide how best to support and be active with this. Past campaigns have included Write for Rights and creating educational displays. As well as this, students have engaged in fundraising for the charity. We may look to go to the Amnesty International Youth Conference too

Boardgames

A great opportunity for all pupils in Years 7 to 13 to get together and try their hand at a range of different board games Feel free to bring your own from home and we’ll also have lots of different ones for you to try As well as developing new skills, including strategic thinking, it is a chance to socialise and have fun.

BookClub

Book club will establish a community of readers and provide a space for lively and informal book-related discussion Each month, we will explore stories that celebrate diversity, inclusivity and showcase the wide range of human experiences
