In assembly this week the winners were announced from the Year 10 Human Rights Festival. The Term 1 topic in Social Studies focused on Human Rights and culminated in students completing an inquiry project into a human rights issue. The findings were then presented on display boards which have been on display recently in the hall. Congratulations go to the winner Sylvia Milnes from 10Ch whose topic focused on girls' education in Tonga. In second place was Ruby Lund and Sylvia de Clifford came third. Further congratulations go to those students who received highly commended certificates including Emily Lokman, Ella Campbell, Asma Shahali, Sienna Nicholson, Aimee Fraser, Mila Rodger, Lucy Fitzgerald, Phoebe Ashdown, Ranya Perera and Matilda Hall.
