The World Toilet day, celebrated on 19th November, is a UN Observance to raise awareness on the sanitation challenges that 4.2 billion people still face in their daily lives. Having access to a clean toilet and other proper sanitation services is missing for over half of the world population! The theme for the 2020 edition is, in fact, Sustainable Sanitation and Climate Change

If you looked down at Southlands last Friday you would have seen a wonderful rainbow array of stripy,spotty, starry socks on everyone's feet for Odd Socks Day 2020. Not only did this splash of colour and fun bring a smile to our faces, it has also reminded us of how we are different in the way we look yet, despite appearances, we are very much one community, and deep down, we are the same.

During their ICT lessons with Ms Connolly, students are learning how to create an app for smartphones with MIT App Inventor, a web application developed by Google and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Languages are something we are passionate about at Southlands. Our Modern Foreign Languages department receives outstanding results every year with students gaining an incredible subject grade average of 6.71 out of a maximum of 7 in 2020.
