Global Girls Leading Summit 2024

On Friday, 11th October 2024, students from Mulberry Academy Woodside proudly participated in the annual Global Girl Leading Summit, held at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster. This empowering event brought together over 400 young women from 20 schools across the UK, Mexico, and Kenya, along with online participants from countries worldwide. It was a day dedicated to celebrating how girls and women lead change at local, national, and international levels.

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!
