BGLC Reading Canon

22nd June 2021Mrs C Anderson

Year 7 students Max, Nadia, Lyv and Kitty stand with our librarian Mrs Norton in front of our new ‘101 Essential Reads – the BGLC Canon’. It has already prompted lively debates between students, and staff, about titles they have read and enjoyed – and even which titles they feel are missing! We hope it will spark some curiosity and encourage all students to delve into titles they perhaps wouldn’t normally consider. It was a joy to compile and looks fantastic – well done to everyone involved. Mrs Bellamy.

BGLC Unsung Hero – JAMES ATKINSON

27th May 2021Mrs C Anderson

BGLC Unsung Hero / Heroine

 

Not all heroes wear capes so they say, and we will all know someone on our campus who does so much for our community but perhaps doesn’t get the recognition they deserve.

This half term the person nominated is JAMES ATKINSON, Premises Officer, who won a £20 Amazon voucher, a BGLC engraved award and a certificate.

WELL DONE James!

World Day for Cultural Diversity – 21st May 2021

20th May 2021Mrs C Anderson

World Day for Cultural Diversity

Every year on May 21st the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development celebrates not only the richness of the world’s cultures, but also the essential role of intercultural dialogue for achieving peace and sustainable development. 
 
This academic year, staff and students at Brookvale Groby Learning Campus have increased our multicultural dialogue. We’ve celebrated Stephen Lawrence Day, discussed why Black Lives Matter, considered how our unconscious biases influence our daily interactions, and learned more about the religious festivals of Ramadan and Diwali. 
 
Three quarters of the world’s conflicts have a cultural dimension. Helping our students to close the cultural gap will help to develop peace, stability and development. If you would like to find out more click this link: https://www.un.org/en/observances/cultural-diversity-day
