HUMAN RIGHTS

FIRST WIN FOR NETBALL TEAM

Great for the netball team to have their first win under their belt and play in the new Tiffin kit. 10-3 excellent result!

Year 9 boys took part in the Human Rights Research Project presentation evening which is the culmination of our annual Young Human Rights Researcher Project. Back in October, the students visited Queen Mary University Law School for a human rights education day, where they learned about human rights in the UK. After visiting at BIHR, the students then worked in small groups to pick a human rights topic to research. The students completed both primary and secondary research to a really high level. We were also pleased to see all the boys speak with such interest, confidence and clarity on their chosen topics. All of the students did amazingly well but a special congratulations to our prize winners! Ben Luca, Austin and Sayanen from Tiffin School. Their report " POLICING PROTEST: Did the Extinction Rebellion Autumn Uprising protest, and its policing, violate Human Rights?" which won three awards!: Best Written, Best Presentation, Audience Choice

BIKE SAFETY Tiffin School recently invited the Crime Prevention Team based in Kingston Police Station (funded by Kingston Council) to register pupils and staff bikes in a bid to prevent bike theft. Alongside this event a Dr Bike event was held where pupils and staff were able to mend their bikes making for a safer, healthier commute to school.
