Hate Crime Awareness Week

Y10 students represent BHGS at community event

On Tuesday 16th october, Ms Faux took a group of ten Y10 students to represent the school at a community event hosted by University of Hertfordshire and Hertfordshire Constabulary for Hate Crime Awareness Week. The girls were able to take part in a range of workshops including a Mock Trial (based on a real life case) where they had to play the parts of victim, accused, barristers and judges in a case of alleged transgender abuse. In addition to this, they had to make a short Tik Tok film raising awareness about the issue of Hate Crime. The girls were outstanding, impressing the police and the CPS with their engagement and their film won the overall best film. The CPS would even like to use it on their official channels. This was doubly impressive since all the schools in attendance had brought sixth formers so our girls were by far the youngest. I couldn’t be prouder of how they carried themselves throughout the day.
