Amnesty International

Bannockburn High’s Amnesty International Group meets every Thursday lunchtime in room 320.

Amnesty is a charitable organisation which campaigns against human rights violations around the world.

Some campaigns we are currently involved in are:
    Burma
    Shell
    End the death penalty
    Save Troy Davis
    Stop Violence Against Women

The group actively support campaigns by promoting human rights issues within school, writing letters to government officials, signing petitions and fundraising.

There are four main Amnesty events in our school calendar each year:
    Second hand book sale in March (usually World Book Day)
    Amnesty Party in October
    Amnestea for staff in December (new event for 2010)
    White Ribbon March in December

All ages welcome to join us. For more information speak to Mrs Mackay.
