Year 10 RE Conference – Animal Rights

Year 10s explore the ethical dilemma ‘Is using animals for our own means ever justifiable?’

Wednesday 29th November was an enriching day for our Year 10 students as they embarked on their first RE Conference of the year. The focal point of the day’s exploration was the ethical dilemma: ‘Is using animals for our own means ever justifiable?’

Engaging in thorough research, the students navigated various facets of this complex question, examining the ethical considerations surrounding pet ownership, animal testing in both medical and cosmetic contexts, as well as diverse religious and non-religious viewpoints.

After diligent research, our students showcased their findings in front of their peers. The top presenters from each class had the opportunity to share their insights with the entire year group in the Hall, displaying not only their knowledge but also their flourishing oracy skills.

This experience served as a commendable platform for our Year 10 cohort to exhibit their growth and confidence. Special recognition goes to the winning group, who captivated their audience by incorporating different forms of media into their presentations.

To all of Year 10 students, your hard work and engagement were evident throughout the day. A big congratulations to each participant for their outstanding efforts and contributions. Your dedication, confidence, and creativity shone through brilliantly. Well done!
