Senior Geography & Modern Studies pupils had the opportunity to hear from Josh Oxby on Wednesday. Josh is a Scottish climate & energy government policy advisor. He is an acclaimed UN-SDG youth energy ambassador & negotiator for Europe and North America; having recently returned from Cop 28. Josh shared his career journey from being a child in the Highlands to advising government ministers and founding The Divergent Thinktank.
Thank you to Josh for sharing his incredible journey with us! 
It's even more exciting that, on the day he visited us, a groundbreaking deal was agreed at COP 28 to move away from fossil fuels!

Our Right of the Month examines Article 14. Now that we are in the throes of the festive season , we must remember and respect all religions and beliefs that are featured in our school. It’s fantastic to have a school of such mixed faiths, beliefs and cultures that can all come together at different points across the school year.
Article 14 of the UNCRC says that children and young people are free to be of any or no religion. Their parents can help them make decisions around religion, but:
• a parent can’t force a child or young person to adopt a religion, and
• a parent can’t force a child or young person to stop following a religion.
No religious discrimination
Children and young people shouldn’t be discriminated against because of their religion. They should be treated the same as everyone else, no matter what they believe.
Freedom of thought
Article 14 also covers the right to freedom of thought. This is the right of a person to have their own ideas, thoughts, opinions and beliefs― and for nobody to be able to stop them from holding them. A person has the right to keep their beliefs private, and shouldn’t be forced to reveal them.
Pupils should access the Right of the Month survey and quiz using the RRSA tile on your pupil portal.

🗺️🏔️ 🌍Family Learning tonight @ Inverness Royal Academy 🗺️🏔️ 🌍
In 2016, Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent spent ten incredible weeks exploring Arunachal Pradesh. Cordoned off from the outside world from 1873 until the late 1990s, today the harshness of its terrain, a sensitive political situation, and the need for restrictive permits still make it a little-visited region. Travelling 2,000 miles by motorbike, foot and boat, she went from leech-infested jungles to the gompa-clad peaks of Tawang, followed explorer F M Bailey’s footsteps to the border with Tibet, and trekked deep into the sacred Buddhist kingdom of Pemako. She recounts stories of a journey which was cold, wet, hot, mind-blowingly beautiful, and constantly surprising.
Tickets purchased at the door (£10 / free for under18s) cash only.

Our S3 debaters went to Edinburgh on Thursday to participate in the Young Speaker’s Scotland St Andrew’s Day Debate. They debated motions on making elections compulsory, banning zoos, and whether overseas aid should go to individuals or governments. Our two speakers learned a lot and grew in confidence over the day, and our two judges made great contributions to their panels. Well done!
