INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

Hi everyone,

This is Emma Watson's speech at UN  campaigning for gender equality, 20 September 2014. They were launching the campaign HeforShe.  

Do you think that women:

•  should be paid the same as men for the same work?
•  should be able to make deccisions about their own bodies?
•  should be involved in the decision making of their own countries?
•  should be given the same social respect as men?

 Whether boy or girl, if your answer is yes, then you are a feminist, and you may not know it.

SCHOOL DAY OF PEACE AND NON VIOLENCE

Hi everyone,

School day of peace and non violence is observed on 30th January, on the anniversary of Mahatma Gandy's murder. Our school's contribution is racing. This year we'll hold the 5th Charity Race for SAVE THE CHILDREN. We'll help the Rohyngias people in Myanmar.

HISPANIC, SPANISH OR LATINO?

As you know, our Antonio Banderas ia a nominee for the 2020  Actor in a Leading Role for Dolor y Gloria (Pain and Glory in English). Part of the American press consider that Antonio Banderas is not white because he is Hispanic, so they said he is black. As you can imagine. social media are "on fire". the truth is that Hispanic, Latino and Spanish have nothing to do with race.  Here is a video to try to explain the difference. Sadly, the background is full of racial prejudice on  White Anglo Saxon People. Take a look and leave your comments.

OUR STUDENTS`OPINIONS ON THE IMMERSION TRIP

Hi everyone,

Yeray Pino, one of our students who took part in the immersion trip gives his opinion. Take a look and leave your comments.

"I think travelling is one of the most wonderful experiences in life; trying new things, meeting new people, disconnecting from the daily routine... I think this trip to England has made me grow as a person and I have found new facets of myself . It seems I found them because I had to speak another language not my own because I had to live with an unknnown family. Anyway, I have liked knowing more about myself, as I also liked knowing more about my friends that I know from many years ago, like Dunia, Laura and Lorena, whom I love very much.

Knowing a different country, a different weather, another language is not easy but I knew how to endure it and also living with an unknown family is difficult but I had my "duck dad" Manuel, and it all became easier. In this trip I have laughed, cried, got angry, felt alive and ENJOYED it, because enjoying is the most important thing.

I wanted to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity of coming here and I also wanted to thank my teachers for their professionalism and support. I also wanted to thank my mate, my "duck dad" Manuel for his laughter and the week we've spent together ( I know you love the way I laugh, baby) .

In conclusion, I'd love  to go again."

By Yeray Pino.
