Watch the following clip in registration this week to help you to better understand what a refugee is. Why not discuss the following questions after you have watched the video;
Refugees have the right to be protected in their host countries. In your view, are refugees being properly protected?
Refugees also have the right to escape war and seek shelter and safety in a host country but, in practice, enforcing that right is not always easy. Should host countries keep their borders open for refugees at all times, or should they be allowed to set and enforce maximum quotas?
This is a reminder to all S4 that continued with French in S3. Your Pen Pal letters have arrived please collect them from Miss McBride asap. Any letters that are not collected by the end of term will be recycled.
