This month, students will be learning about LGBTQ+ history month. This will include an in-depth look at what the past has been like for the LGBTQ+ community, how this community has been historically (and are still in some areas of the world) persecuted for who they love, raising awareness about prejudice and promoting the welfare of the LGBTQ+ community within our school environment.

This month we focused on Veganuary. Students learnt about different plant-based diets, and their similarities and differences. We talked about how the vegan diet can positively impact a person’s health as well as the impact our societal food choices have on our environment. We also looked at the challenges that people who chose a vegan diet might face in day-to-day life, and considered why someone might chose to adopt a vegan diet.
