11 Jul We Are Silent March
On 30th June Jo Richardson Community School students took part in a Silent March in central London. The school prides itself on being committed to social action for change and has a very strong Student Voice. 157 students created banners, posters and t-shirts emblazoned with causes they wanted to raise awareness for: Slavery, Racism, Islamophobia, Anti bullying, Gender equality, Homophobia and FGM were among the issues the students felt strongly about. Kerri Edwards 11F said “This is our opportunity to show the world that young people do care and we have a voice. We felt empowered today and I hope the city of London was watching.”
This is the second march the students at Jo Richardson Community School have organised and they were joined by 20 students and staff from Broadford Primary School. Devika Ahtty 7I said, “I have had such an amazing time today, it has made me feel part of something amazing, in our silence WE speak volumes was a banner and this is so true.”
I am so proud that our young people feel compelled to speak out on issues that they feel strongly about; it is truly inspirational to stand shoulder to shoulder with students who are socially active and care about their world and the people in it.
