What is a Rights Respecting Group?
We do rights! We work together to ensure all learners in the school learn and know about their rights. We introduced Rainbow Rights Day in 2024 which is a whole day dedicated to learning about our rights. We encourage all learners in Lasswade to participate in respecting our rights. We seek views from the whole school in order to improve our learning environment.
