Genders and Sexualities Alliance at LHS
Genders and Sexualities Alliance at LHS
LHS has a thriving Genders and Sexualities Alliance (GSA).
Our group was set up in August 2019 with four main goals;
To provide a safe space for pupils in the LGBTQ+ community and allies
To offer support to LGBTQ+ pupils through signposting or advice
To celebrate LGBTQ+ people and their experiences
To make our school more inclusive through education and awareness.
We meet weekly and are always open for new members - If you are interested please see Miss Mirrlees in C024 or one of our group members.

Scotland has become the first country in the world to embed lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) inclusive education across the school curriculum.
Focused on promoting equality, reducing bullying and improving the educational experiences of LGBT children and young people, subjects across age groups will now include LGBT identities, issues and history.
You can find out more information from the documents or websites below.
