Human Rights

2022 has seen immense progression surrounding the Human Rights Club’s influence on our wider School community. My aim this year was to instigate the improvement of how students respond to real-life, global issues by ensuring everyone is ‘part of the conversation.’

The ability to raise awareness and spark passion within all students, to broaden their perspectives beyond our immediate community, is something that proved to be of great vitality to the Club. At the commencement of the year, I made a promise to students that although we may not have the capacity at our disposal to bring about total change in the vast majority of world-issues, we will always possess the great ability to build an educated, civilly conscious community. To cultivate an environment in which everyone can develop an awareness of world issues, the student-led newspaper The Stentorian, was established in early Term 2. The introduction of this digital newspaper paved the way for the Human Rights Club to raise awareness in the Human Rights – Right Now, articles. I am immensely proud of how far the Human Rights Club has come in shining a light upon current civil rights issues. My hope is that this group of educated, young women will both sustain and act upon this newly found motivation for promulgating necessary, tangible change beyond our School community.
