Make it Right We gave you the Big Challenge to Make it Right, and check you out… You did! We received 16 school entries and each one showed what able global citizens you could be. You led the action, you organised the events and you ensured that your whole school learnt about children’s rights as well as what we could do as groups and individuals to make a difference. Well done! It was an extremely well contested challenge, but Oxfam and the Nord Anglia Education team had to pick some winners. So congratulations to: • The British International School Bratislava for the Biggest Impact • The British International School of Charlotte for Most Innovative Project • The British School, Warsaw for the Best Research Round 3 of the Debating League has arrived, we hope that you have enjoyed the competition so far.
