Year 9 girls attend<br />
inspiring Global Girl<br />
Leading conference<br />
During the final week of October, some<br />
of the Year 9 girls attended the Global<br />
Girls Leading conference organised by<br />
the Mulberry Schools Trust and hosted by<br />
Mulberry School for Girls in East London.<br />
The conference<br />
was centred<br />
on discussions<br />
about providing<br />
education for<br />
girls in areas<br />
of conflict<br />
and some of<br />
the systemic<br />
inequalities<br />
that women<br />
might face<br />
in the British journalism sector. The panel was<br />
inspiring, motivating and empowering. The students<br />
held important conversations with female students<br />
from other schools across London. Michelle Obama’s<br />
inspirational book Becoming was given to every student<br />
as a keepsake gift to fire their imagination.<br />
Jeffrey Boakye’s insights<br />
spark masculinity dialogue<br />
On Wednesday 29th November, former<br />
teacher and writer Jeffrey Boakye joined<br />
30 boys from Year 9 and 10 for a What is<br />
Masculinity? workshop.<br />
All the boys involved were gifted a copy of the book,<br />
which they read in advance, and came prepared with<br />
questions and ideas<br />
to share. Boakye is a<br />
significant role model<br />
both within and outside<br />
the teaching community.<br />
The next phase of the<br />
project involves all boys<br />
delivering assemblies,<br />
working with younger<br />
boys through mentoring<br />
partnerships and<br />
potentially visiting our<br />
feeder primary schools.<br />
Year 9 visits<br />
Imperial War Museum<br />
On Monday 4th <strong>December</strong>,<br />
Year 9 students took a trip to the<br />
Imperial War Museum.<br />
Students worked in groups of three to produce mini<br />
documentaries<br />
about the First<br />
World War.<br />
The students’<br />
behaviour was<br />
exemplary, and<br />
they impressed<br />
the volunteers<br />
at the museum<br />
with their<br />
knowledge.<br />
