Year 12 Legal Studies

On Wednesday 21 August, the Year 12 Legal Studies students had a guest presentation from Sister Noelene Simmons SM about Human Trafficking and Slavery. Sister Noelene is in charge of Communications and Advocacy at ACRATH (Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans). ACRATH’s mission is to eliminate human trafficking and the harm it causes, in Australia. Sister Noelene’s talk tied in with the students’ Contemporary Human Rights Issue which they are currently studying. Students learned about the enormity of the issue both globally and locally, the work that is being done on advocating on behalf of victims of human trafficking and measures being taken here and overseas to shut down human trafficking. Sister Noelene’s talk left a lasting impression on the students as well as preparing them for their upcoming HSC Legal Studies Exam.
