From the February Newsletter of Freyberg High School... (Apr 2010)

“Freyberg is a Human Rights School. This means that we not only have a culture that acknowledges the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but we are pro-active in making the Rights and Responsibilities outlined in this document clear to all our students.
Everyone has the right to education (Article 26) but inherent in this right is the responsibility to allow others to learn. You have the right to be treated with dignity but the responsibility to treat all others with dignity, whatever their race, background or abilities.
All Year 9 students spent time on Thursday working with their core teachers to develop a code for their classroom by considering what rights they had and what responsibilities this includes.”
