Human Rights Conference

Recently, Senior Camberwell Grammar students attended and co-led an exceptional Human Rights Conference with Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar. Other participating schools included Lauriston Girls’ School, Star of the Sea, and Kingswood College. The conference posed the question, ‘who will write what history of us?’

In partnership with Liberty Victoria, Australia’s longest-standing human rights organisation, the conference featured powerful speakers including Julian Burnside AO QC and Daye Gang who shared their expertise, insight and lived experience in ensuring the ideals of freedom, respect, equality and dignity are protected in peoples’ lives.

A resounding theme throughout the conference was ‘privilege is relative’. Students were challenged to understand their own privilege and open their eyes to human rights, both their own and others.

Congratulations to Tommy, Jay, Nathan, Raphael, Ravin, Ethan, Matthew, Edward, Henry, Hamish, and William who were great representatives of the School.
