25th November “End Violence against Women Now” (International Baccalaureate)
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.
25 November: Day against Gender Violence
Poster made by one of our IB students
Next 25 November, a lot of activities will be held in Celia Viñas by the Equality Programme (Programa de Igualdad) to raise awareness about the dramatic circumstances of those persons who have to suffer mistreatment, harassment and violence. Once more, the bilingual programme wants to collaborate on this day with different activities in their classes.
Some of our groups have prepared digital posters with images and messages related to this subject ,this will be the incentive to make our students talk about it and ,in the following months, they will also make up dialogues reproducing some situations using the red bench (a symbol against gender violence) placed in our school .
All these actions will help to show our refusal against any kind of violence.
Welcome to a new course !!!

We have prepared some activities to celebrate this day during this week and the following one like making bookmarks, literature contests, speaking about our favourite titles and … reading (which is always a pleasure).

17th March : St Patrick’s Day
This year, it is impossible to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as we used to do it, singing and dancing ( like Irish people do ) but we don’t want to forget this important day for those who admire and respect Irish culture.
If you want to know something about this day, you can have a look at three presentations (one of them made by Ashley,our American language assistant in 2017-2018 course).
And finally, we can listen to a song by the most famous Irish Band, U2.
Our students have made a huge poster to show information about this festivity
