Period 5 Tutorial...Tallis ChooseToChallenge
During this period students will be returning to Tutor Groups to consider further why it is important to BreakTheBias.

- At the start of the period 5 tutors will remind their groups that this Community Day is called "Tallis #BreakTheBias.". That during the course of the day they have considered in period 1 the nature of gender inequality of the Tallis Community and that this means that we are a community of nearly 2,000 young people that contains young women of a range of faith, language and ethnic heritages that share our lives together every day. In periods 2 and 3 we have considered the terrible consequences of intolerance, prejudice and discrimination on grounds of gender both globally and nationally. In period 4 we have considered the issues facing girls in Thomas Tallis School, our local community.
- In this final period 5 tutorial of the day we are going to consider what gender equality means and how some groups experience sexism in our community.
- Firstly take out your Tallis #BreakTheBias passport and consider your learning journey through the day. Have a group discussion arond the issues that the students have been considering during periods 1-4.
- Secondly students are asked to consider the Tallis Accepts Charter and make some suggestions about any statements that need to be added to which will then go to SLT and Governors at the end of the session for their consideration and revision of the Charter.
- Thirdly use the resources provided to make a tutor group sash of the kind worn by the suffragettes. On the sash complete the following statement "At Tallis we will #BreakTheBias by....................................". Each student will also make a personalised wrist band.
- Fourthly consider taking a photograph with the Tallis #BreakTheBias selfiecards and send via school email to [email protected]
- Finally we should think hard about how we need to understand and work together to overcome such intolerance, prejudice and discrimination. It is fundamental to embrace both our individuality and the individuality of others. We come together every day to share our experiences and learn as one to understand the world and change it for the better. Watch the video below.
