June 2019 – All Articles within the UNCRC. This month we are looking at International Children’s Day. We had an assembly linking this to our broad, general health and well-being and being a good friend to others, ensuring everyone feels included and respected. Remember to add to our Pupil Voice board with all the wonderful, kind things you do for others this month.
