Celebrating Global Girl Leaders at the Houses of Parliament

On October 11, 2024, our Global Girl Leaders embarked on an inspiring journey to the Houses of Parliament. This visit followed an incredible conference held at the QE2 Conference Centre, where 400 girls from across the globe came together to celebrate International Day of the Girl.

The conference was a vibrant showcase of youthful energy, ideas, and empowerment, culminating in a special reception at the Houses of Parliament. Our girls had the honour of being welcomed by Mulberry Alumnus Rushanara Ali, who has been a powerful advocate for youth and women’s rights.

The event highlighted the strength and potential of young girls everywhere, emphasising the importance of their voices in shaping a better future. As we reflect on the inspiring messages shared during the conference, we are more motivated than ever to support and uplift the next generation of leaders.

Year 13 STEM Academy Students Shine at Greenpower International Finals

On Sunday, October 13th, our Year 13 STEM Academy students showcased their hard work and dedication at the Greenpower International Finals held at the prestigious Goodwood Motor Circuit in West Sussex. Competing against a diverse group of schools and colleges from around the globe, our students demonstrated exceptional skills and teamwork at this high-stakes event.

This competition marked the final race of the season for our talented cohort. They gave it their all, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments.

Our Greenpower lead emphasised the significance of the event, stating, “We tend to forget how big this competition truly is, and the level of competition we’re up against. All things considered, we at Stepney Green, and the whole of Tower Hamlets, should be extremely proud of what our students have achieved. We now look forward to their STEM Academy Graduation soon to give them the recognition they deserve!”

Congratulations to our Year 13 scholars for their outstanding performance! We look forward to celebrating their achievements and the bright futures ahead of them.

Our students had the opportunity to engage with inspiring speakers, including Dame Rachel De Souza, Children’s Commissioner for England, and Tina Tchen from The Obama Foundation, who shared their experiences and insights on advocating for gender equality. The discussions, activities, and workshops encouraged the girls to think critically about the barriers facing women globally and explore how they can make a difference in their communities.

 Year 7s celebrate World Languages Day

As part of World Languages Day, our Year 7 students at Mulberry Academy Woodside took part in a lively piñata-making activity. This hands-on experience, inspired by Mexican traditions, gave students the chance to explore different cultures in a fun and creative way.

Throughout the day, students learned some basic Spanish phrases while decorating their piñatas and discovering the meaning behind the custom. The excitement reached its peak when the piñatas were broken open, symbolising shared celebration and joy.

It was a fantastic way for our Year 7s to dive into cultural traditions while picking up new language skills. A big well done to all involved!
