Warwick Academy marked its first year as a Human Rights Friendly School with a ceremony, plus a video address from the Amnesty International Secretariat in London.The school’s partnership with Amnesty International has prompted Education Minister Nalton Brangman to examine ways of including the Island’s public school system.Warwick Academy principal Maggie McCorkell explained: “It’s about making our students aware — and encouraging them not only to gain knowledge, but to express opinions with that knowledge of human rights.”Whether it was Bermuda’s own Human Rights Act amendments, or the implications of Syria’s ongoing civil war, students at the school have had much to discuss over the past year.They have written to Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager shot by the Taliban for daring to speak up on education for girls.Secondary teacher Shabnam Kolia said the programme entailed working human rights implications into classes — including her own subject, geography.Warwick Academy is the pilot school in Bermuda for the Amnesty International collaboration.Students closed yesterday’s gathering by lighting the symbolic Amnesty candle encircled in barbed wire.
