On Wednesday 22nd January, Mr Fagon delivered an ‘Importance of Individual Liberty’ assembly.
The assembly was truly enlightening, and delved into the important topic of stereotyping and the dangers it poses. The topic also explored unconscious bias and how it can affect our daily interactions. A huge thank you to Mr Fagon for leading such an insightful session, lets all be more aware and inclusive in our thoughts and actions.
