Our amazing Year 10 Geography students have been learning about urban issues around the world, and they've taken their understanding a step further with a truly inspiring fundraising initiative. They've twinned one of the school's toilets with a latrine in Nigeria! During their recent studies on development and inequality in NEE urban areas, students learnt about the challenges faced by communities in Nigeria where access to basic, safe sanitation is limited or non-existent. This lack of proper facilities can lead to serious health issues and have a significant impact on people's lives, particularly children in densely populated areas. Inspired to make a tangible difference, the Year 10 Geographers decided to take action. Through the charity Toilet Twinning, they raised funds to build a brand-new latrine for a community in Nigeria. This small act will have a huge impact, providing a safe and hygienic place for people to use, helping to prevent the spread of disease and improving their overall well-being in an urban context. "It's amazing to think that something we often take for granted can make such a big difference to someone else," said one Year 10 student. "Learning about the urban challenges in Nigeria made us want to do something practical to help." This fantastic project is a brilliant example of how our geography lessons can inspire real-world action and empower our students to become compassionate global citizens. Well done, Year 10!
