Planning events, writing letters to national governments, and campaigning are just some of the things the group has participated in for its chosen causes.

Much of the year has focussed on campaigning for human rights in China.
After learning about the horrific atrocities taking place, such as the fact China executes more people than all other countries put together, they decided to raise awareness around the school and write letters demanding action to be taken before the Beijing Olympics this year.

Throughout the China campaign, more horrific facts were unravelled about the Olympics, such as the auditions for female presenters, which quoted that applicants must be: "slim, not ugly."

Posters were placed around the school, assemblies were held, and numerous letters were written to Chinese governments about individuals affected by the Olympics.

Later on in the year, the main Amnesty event took place: a Stand up for Fashion catwalk show. The show was a huge success and raised £1,500.
Pupils modelled clothes from local boutiques such as Mint in Wetherby, and there were two spectacular dances by pupils in the school as well as a special guest appearance by model and businesswoman, Caprice.

The Amnesty group didn't stop there however, and only a week after the fashion show they held Darfur Day; a day dedicated to observing the current tragic situation in Darfur.

All pupils and teachers wore black, and around the school display boards showed different issues, with pupils acting beside them.
One board displayed information and pictures of Guantanamo Bay, whilst two pupils dressed in orange jump suits knelt in the stress position beside them, showing girls around the school in a visual way about how prisoners are treated.

Leaders Olivia Watson and Elizabeth Anderson are both leaving the group now to focus on AS Level exams, but hope the group will continue its work of reclaiming human rights to individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied.
