With the arrival of December at Bushey Meads, our Sixth Formers received a brilliant assembly on what it means to be British in our multicultural society. Students were free to consider the 5 values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance. Although these principles were established long ago, they couldn’t be more relevant within our day to day lives.
Democracy is modeled in our wonderful student parliament, where form representatives voice their opinion on matters within the school. The Rule of Law upheld via our various reward schemes for pupils who decide to play a more active role in our school community. Individual liberty is expressed through Sixth formers independently managing study periods to be the most effective. Mutual respect and tolerance are embedded within our school principles, such as our commitment to having a “mind to be kind” to all members of our community, respecting diverse faiths and beliefs.
These values define who we are as a school community. By respecting these principles, we actively prepare ourselves to become more thoughtful, considerate and responsible individuals.
Building teamwork through group presentations!
On Tuesday, it was Sixth Form Presentation Day. This meant that in some of our lessons, we had been put into groups the week before and asked to work together to create a presentation on a given topic to present to our class. In our Law lesson, we were split into three groups, and my group focused on “Political Influences”. We created a slideshow explaining the influence that the main political parties have on Parliament and the country, and how they have helped shape the UK into what it is today.
Another group presented on “Media Influence on Parliament”. Their presentation showed how the media can affect and change the way politics is shown to the public, especially because of free speech and the power people have to influence laws and opinions. The final group looked at “Pressure Groups and Their Influence on Parliament”, explaining how people come together to form pressure groups, how they try to influence the government, and how the government responds.
Overall, it was a very educational and interesting experience, and it was a great way to learn while also teaching our peers.
