Our Students had the opportunity to attend and participate in the Newham Accountability Assembly at St Bonaventure’s.
The event brought together local community groups and mayoral candidates, creating a platform for dialogue on key issues affecting the borough.
Students played ...an active role in the assembly, including serving as co-chairs and engaging directly with the candidates. They confidently presented the concerns and “asks” of different groups, ensuring that the voices of those who may feel marginalised were heard. The candidates were challenged to respond to these issues and to consider how they would act if elected.
The experience was both empowering and formative. It enabled students to see how faith, leadership, and social responsibility connect in real-world contexts. By taking part, they lived out values such as dignity, justice, and the common good, putting their faith into action.
Overall, the assembly was a powerful example of student leadership and community engagement, and it highlighted the importance of giving young people a voice in shaping their local area.
In my opinion, the assembly went really well. I enjoyed co-chairing and seeing the smiles on people’s faces, but also that I felt that I was helping people and groups that may have felt marginalised and felt heard and seen by those who may lead our borough. I strongly feel that the asks of each group were really heartfelt and conveyed to the candidates the expectations that they have if they do get elected. Reuben year 12
