Amnesty Committee Report

Amnesty Committee:

Our school’s Amnesty committee is part of Amnesty International, a global organisation that works to improve human rights for marginalised groups, for people impacted by war or violence, and any people whose rights have not been respected. In our meetings, we sign petitions about crucial issues on Amnesty International’s website, discuss issues that matter to us and raise awareness or raise funds for human rights.

Racism is a massive issue that we are focusing on this term. You can view this short video on youtube from the Australian Human Rights Commission https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFTjZilAwhM&t=30s

The Amnesty committee works closely with the school’s environmental committee, as climate change is a big human rights issue. In the Environment Committee, we aim to help stop climate change by targeting food waste, plastic waste and fast fashion within our school.
