Rights Respecting Schools Award
Struthers Primary is a Gold Level 2 Rights Respecting and Fair Achiever School.
The purpose of our committee is to raise awareness of the rights of the child. This is an essential component of our school's improvement plan. It puts the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as one of the main cores of our school's planning, practice, policies and ethos.
The ABCDE of United Nations Convention of the Rights of a Child
UNIVERSAL - Rights are for ALL children
INHERENT – Rights are there from BIRTH for all children.
INALIENABLE – Rights CANNOT be taken or given away.
UNCONDITIONAL- Rights are for all children and DO not have to be earned.
INDIVISIBLE – All rights are EQUALLY important - NO right is more important than another
All children, everywhere have all the rights.
All adults have a duty to look after all children
Our pupil committee meet regularly.
This year we are focussing on Childrens’ rights across the globe.
We are continuing to support children in Diesploot, Africa and are still collecting our loose change in our JAM tins.
We also continue to support our friends in the Ugandan Orphanage.
We are continuing to support our school chaplains project building a school in Haiti.
We support our local foodbank and local charities every year
Our school charter, lunchtime and playground charters are updated every year.
Each class and committee also design their own charter every year.
We try to link our topics and school displays to the articles of the UNCRC and the 17 sustainable goals.. Representatives from our RRS Pupil committee also inform our pupils of the Articles which relate to our weekly school assembly.
We are continuing to ensure everyone in our school is valued and respected by all,
linking with the UNCRC, GIRFEC, SHANARRI and our school values.
The RRSA Committee is led by Mrs Boyd and Mr Hanniford
