We Day 2014
On March 7th, a select group of students from the Academy were invived to attend We Day at Wembley Arena, London..
A Free The Children initiative, We Day brings young people together to lead global change, defy apathy and celebrate the change that they are making in their local and global communities.
The students were invited to attend the very first We Day in the UK as; they had been recognised for their charitable efforts. The Year 10 students had a fantastic time being entertained by Dizzee Rascal, Ellie Goulding and Diversity; inspired by speakers such as Malala Yousafzai, Prince Harry and Spencer West (double leg amputee) and motivated by speakers such as Martine Wright (Paralympian) and Craig and Mark Kielburger (free the children founders).
Stockport Academy was recognised, as a school, for its charitable efforts. The event highlighted that, not only is it important to donate money but, also to donate time and to stand up for one another. Those who attended, staff and students alike, were inspired to create more charitable events for the future including a day of silence, to stand up for those who don’t have a voice in their community.
