Why is Citizenship important?

Citizenship helps young people to play an effective role in public life. They learn about rights, responsibilities, the law and democracy.
It encourages respect for people of all nationalities, religions and ethnic identities.

Citizenship aims to give young people a voice with which they can change their world in an appropriate way.

Homework Competition

It's Citizenship homework this week. Everyone has a task that asks them to watch, listen to or read a news story over the weekend.

To encourage more of you to do the homework and hand it in I am offering a £5 gift voucher for one lucky person.

All you have to do is click on the comments link at the bottom of this post and leave the message - "I have done my homework". Don't forget to put your name on the message.

Anyone who hands in their homework and has left a comment, will be entered in the draw for the voucher next Friday.

Good Luck
