Sat 14 October – organised by Broughton High School
Tragically the buying and selling of humans still takes place in our world; in our city. Over 50 million people are modern day slaves; 126,000 in the UK.
The ‘Walk for Freedom’ is a silent protest walk to raise awareness of human trafficking and it takes place in Edinburgh on Saturday the 14th October 2 -3.30pm.
It is being organised by local school students from Broughton High School.
The starting point is St John’s Episcopal Church, bottom of Lothian Road. Please register below and wear black on the day.
Raising awareness of Human Trafficking by taking part in a Walk for Freedom.
Take local action on Saturday 14th October in Edinburgh. 2 -3.30pm.
Be part of a global solution.
Human Trafficking is the abuse of children, women, and men for their bodies and labour. It’s modern-day slavery. Worldwide the figure is 50 million. This isn’t an international problem. There are people trafficked in Scotland, in Edinburgh. The commonly accepted figure for the UK is around 136,000 people although this is thought to be a conservative estimate.
On Saturday, October 14, 2023, thousands of people will hit the streets in hundreds of cities across the globe to walk in a single file line–holding posters and handing out flyers–to reach their city and raise awareness about human trafficking and how to end it. Not only this, but educating leaders, neighbours, and friends, empowering them to recognise human trafficking and report it.
Please come to join us in Edinburgh on Saturday 14th October from 2pm -3.30pm. Starting point St John’s Church – 1A Lothian Road.
We will walk along the Grassmarket, down Mound and back to St John’s.
Kirsty Thomson, organiser and teacher at Broughton High School, said: ‘By walking with us, you are standing in solidarity with survivors, raising your voice for the world we need to see, and creating a path toward lasting change.
“As we walk along Princes’ Street we give a voice to those enslaved – those that have no voice. Without your involvement, your community may remain unaware of the exploitation happening close to home. But you have the power to change that!
“Our message can’t be ignored: Slavery still exists but we will abolish it. Together. Come join us.”

Today Broughton High will be hosting the formal unveiling of the brand new memorial plaque and sculpture erected in honour of the memory of five High School students – Leif Rohde, Paul Taylor, Billy Feachen, Carol McGowan and Melody Mak – who sadly lost their lives together in a tragic road accident on Queensferry Road on 13 March 1990.
The plaque was designed and commissioned by relatives of those young people. There are 5 daffodils to represent each student, complementing the 5 memorial trees that were planted by the sculpture & plaque after the accident.
The unveiling marks the conclusion of a project that has been years in the planning.
STRIKE: THURSDAY 8 DECEMBER – STUDENTS TO STAY AT HOME
Dear Parents and Carers
Due to employee rights around industrial action, we are unable to collate accurate information around the number of teacher colleagues who will be striking on Thursday 8th December in advance. We are aware that some non-striking colleagues may take action in support of striking colleagues.
As such we will make the following adaptations to the delivery of Learning and Teaching:
All students should stay at home and will receive live online lessons
Live online lessons will be made available by non-striking teachers
This will require children to have their own device, preferably the iPad provided by school, and to log on at the usual time for lessons.
If no teacher or work is available due to strike action, learners can use
Contingency Learning Grids available on the CEC webpage.
Alternative forms of learning (e-sgoil, Click etc), available on the CEC webpage.
Learning resources provided by individual teachers across subject areas.
A free school meal will be available for eligible pupils to collect from school during lunch time.
Pupils entitled to a free school meal should report to the school at 13.05-13.30 to collect their meal.
Please use the main front doors for entry and exit. Staff will be on duty to assist.
