The very successful anti-sexting project which Cannock Soroptimists have led in local High Schools has been filmed by the BBC!
School Ambassadors, staff members and Soroptimists all went along to Cannock Chase High School to present a Your Body, Your Rules session to a group of Y8 students which was filmed for Midlands Today. As well as filming the entire presentation, reporter Bob Hockenhull interviewed the Ambassadors, many of the year 8 students, staff members and Soroptimists about the project. Everyone ‘performed’ magnificently! Yet again, our Ambassadors showed their maturity, their knowledge of the topic, their ability to respond sensitively to anything put to them whilst school staff and Soroptimists were pleased to be able to say how the project has had such a positive impact within their schools: Cardinal Griffin Catholic College; Chase Terrace High School; Staffordshire University Academy and Cannock Chase High.
These Ambassadors will continue with their role next year when they move into year 13, with new Ambassadors being trained. Training for the new academic year takes place in September; it will be delivered by Cannock Soroptimists. The current schools will be joined by new Ambassadors from Norton Canes High School; South Staffs College, Cannock Campus and Cannock Cadets.For more information on the work of the club please visit their Facebook page www.facebook.com/SICannock;
