Rights of the Child

In 1989 governments from across the world agreed to the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child).  It recognised that all children have the right to be treated with dignity and fairness, to be protected and developed to their full potential and have the right to participate in their own life.  The UNCRC has 54 articles in total, but the first one is one of the most important -

Everyone under the age of 18 has all the rights of the Convention.

Each week at Ninian Park Primary School we celebrate a different right.  On this page we will help you learn more about the UNCRC, along with the rights and responsibilities it offers.

Rights Ambassadors 2024- 2025

Hello

We are the Rights Ambassadors.  Our job is to make sure that the rest of the school know all about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.  We have helped Miss Norrish and Mrs Bah to plan out one right for every week.  These are introduced in assembly each week and put up in our classrooms.  We also have Roary the Dragon who shouts about our rights all around the school.   Have you seen him around the school?

This year our PAG is supported by Miss Norrish and Mrs Bah.

So far this year we have:

As a group, we have been focusing on following UNICEF's Outright Campaign for Change Making. So far we have learnt about our role as global citizens and shared this with the school community in our World Children's Day event. We met with members of the local government to share our views and ideas for advocacy against the SDGs and Rights of the Child.

We have identified the local and global issues we feel passionately about and have created an action plan for change at Ninian Park Primary School.

World Children's Day 20th November 2024

This Year for World children's day each Year group learnt about different Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we created banners and videos to share our learning.

On 20th November we invited members of the local government and community, our governors and members of the press to participate in a Rights Parade around Severn Oaks Park to share our learning.
