the harbour club - tues rm 4
By Isla Mills
Aylsham High School is hoping to achieve the school of sanctuary accreditation by helping students to understand what an asylum seeker is and the problems that occur when people are forced to migrate. The Harbour Club is a group pf students who aim to deliver key messages and educate our school community and help us achieve accreditation. More than anything we want to help make our school a place of welcome for students with English as an additional language, and to people from other countries and those who have been displaced forcibly.
We meet every Tuesday lunchtime in room 4.
Recently we have been raising money for Afghanistan and Ukraine via UNHCR. We have been doing a sponsored read and so far we have raised over 200 pounds, and it is still open.
We have also been interviewing staff and students about their experiences of migration or living in other countries. You can read these on our website which is www.aylshamhighschoolharbour.com
If you are interested about doing more please join the Harbour Club, in room 4 on tuesday lunchtimes. Looking forward to seeing you there!
You will probably remember the issues with lockdown for holiday makers, who went out, for maybe a week of change, and when the rules changed in the area they were trapped there. It was not their fault they, were just trapped in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is sort of like that for forced immigrants. Due to circumstances that they could not control, like ruthless governments, war, famine, or natural disasters, they were forced out of their homes with very few belongings in dangerous times, to move to relative safety.
Many countries are now taking in immigrants as refugees but it is not all good. Some news stations still report refugees as if they have done something wrong and that turns citizens against them. In the recent crisis with Russia and Ukraine, many millions of people have been displaced, and the surrounding countries are welcoming them in. We are opening up our houses to these people and it is heart-warming to see the support that they are receiving.
