Most of you have enjoyed the exhibition which has been displayed in the corridor with the posters made by 1º ,2º and 3º ESO students in their Art classes.  We want to show just a few examples to compliment all the students on their great works to visualize the importance of measures to avoid wars and violence to solve problems all over the world.

Our language assistant, Nick Mosley, has been explaining about the varied musical expressions in Canada throughout its history. From indigenous music to the latest songs in the top charts. He has also talked about his experience as a musician and how relevant music could be for any kind of listener.

I’m sure you have enjoyed it and if you want to read or listen to some of the music in this presentation, just click in the link below.

The Music of Canada

Last Monday,  our 4º A students celebrated the day of Non-violence and Peace in the  anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi.  Our students listened to the famous speech which Martin Luther King, another icon of the Peace movement, gave to defend civil rights in a period when  segregation laws existed in USA. These role models make them be aware of the importance of peaceful movements to remind us that violence is never a solution.  These students also read a short biography of him and did some fil-in-the-gap activities.

These images were made by the students in the International Baccalaureate Programme ( 1st year) to condemn gender violence and its consequences. Solutions can be found if we join our forces to support this worldwide movement.

The IB students (2nd year) have also created leaflets with the same theme. You can see some examples exhibited on our board in the corridor.

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against women was created by the United Nations . This year, the campaign’s theme is  “Orange the World: End Violence against Women Now!” where they want to encourage all the countries in the world to create ” a brighter future free of violence against women and girls”.

We want to collaborate with the Equality Programme (Programa de Igualdad) in our high school and we will go on preparing activities related to this topic like Talks on the bench , an activity where we will create dialogues using the symbolic bench placed in our playground next to our well as the background for our stories.
