LGBTQ+ Month February 2021
LGBTQ+ Month February 2021
This is a theme that the student council and pupil voice survey's suggested that we did some more work focused around. In response to that we have built in lessons to our character schemes of work. We also had students that wanted to produce some extra work around this theme. Jackson has written an article which is shared below Also below is the assembly that was created by Max about Rainbow Youth which runs regular zoom events. Keep an eye out for more information later in the month.

Make Your Mark 2020
Make Your Mark 2020
Thank you for your support of The Make Your Mark Ballot 2020. The results have now been collated by British Youth Council.
The top issues voted by you were:
Top Uk Wide Issues- Support Mental Health, Free University Education and Plastic Pollution
Top Local Issues-Access to Training and jobs, Domestic Violence and Homelessness .
Working with the local youth council we have already been working on young people's mental health for several years and the Positive Steps group continues to act as a voice group to colleagues and partners (CCG and RDASH) on matters pertaining to services and wellbeing in young people.
Over the past year we started to look at environmental issues including plastic use and litter problems- a lot of the plans were however postponed due to Covid restrictions, but we will pick up on this as soon as we are able -including a launch of a new award.
Homelessness has been an area that NLYC have highlighted as an area they wanted to address. Our Young Mayor and a team of NLYC members have signed up to a very tough challenge to raise money for local centre The Forge . This should take place during August 2021 and through a social media campaign they aim not only to fund a new kitchen for The Forge but to raise awareness of the problems associated with homelessness.
In the new year we intend to start conversations around domestic violence/abuse and seeking help. We have strong links with our local police force and Safer Neighbourhood colleagues so working together we should be able to produce some young people friendly resources.

TSLA Student Council
TSLA Student Council
At The St Lawrence Academy, our "Student Voice" is very important. One of the ways we ensure we are listening and engaging with our students is through our very active Student Council.
At the start of each academic year, all students are given the opportunity to put their name forward to become part of the student council.
In the last two years the student council has run a number of events including raising money for charities such as The Blue Door and for our eco awareness society. They have also looked at Poverty Proofing through The Red Box scheme and looked at democracy through work with the local Youth Council.
Student council is led by two head student council members who this year are Modestas and Anisah from year eleven, who feedback to SLT and governors after every meeting. We look forward to seeing what you can do this year.

This week students at the academy are celebrating Pupil Voice Week 2020. This year's theme is "It's Good to Talk" and students are learning about mental well being and where they can go for advice. Over two hundred students have used the opportunity to share their opinions on how well they have settled back into the academy and changes they would like to see in the future. We look forward to seeing how many of these ideas we can use this year. Well done everyone.
Debating Society
Debating Society
The debating society was set up in 2020 and run by Mr Crompton. As a group they went to The Big Debate at Bath Halls in Scunthorpe.
Arranged to get the opinions of local young people, the North Lincolnshire Great Debate discussed transport / connectivity, drugs, litter and youth activities, all previously highlighted as priorities.
Maths teacher and Debate Club leader Mr Compton took our six representatives to the event at the Baths Hall, organised by the council and North Lincolnshire’s Youth Council.
He said it was a “great day” for the newly-formed club.
“We’re all pretty new to debating but it was great to get involved in discussions about topics as varied as youth activities, litter and drugs,” Mr Compton said.
“These are issues important to lots of local young people so for students at TSLA to be able to give their opinions was a great opportunity for everyone involved.”
Various workshops were held in the morning to help inform the students about the issues.
