St. Colmcille’s Primary has recently been awarded the Bronze Award for the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Award. Since September 2021, the whole school community has worked hard to embark on the UNICEF Rights Respecting journey. Our goal is to embed children’s rights into all aspects of school life. When the Rights Respecting Schools Award comes to life, it transforms whole schools into places where children feel safe, nurtured, valued and heard. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) becomes a thread that runs throughout the whole of school life, inspiring young people to become active and global citizens. Having achieved our Bronze Award: Rights Committed, St. Colmcille’s Primary are now at the stage where we will begin our journey towards the Silver Award: Rights Aware. The whole school community has thoroughly enjoyed achieving the Bronze Award. We look forward to undertaking our next steps on the path to becoming a Rights Respecting Community by earning the Silver Award during this academic year.
