A Rotorua high school has joined celebrities such as Michelle Obama, Salma Hayek and David Cameron in backing the global Bring Back Our Girls campaign.
More than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls were kidnapped last month by terrorist group Boko Haram, who claim to have "liberated" the girls by converting them to Islam. Human rights groups and celebrities have been using social media and the slogan Bring Back Our Girls to raise awareness of their plight, with actress Hayek pictured holding the sign on the red carpet at the recent Cannes Film Festival.
Now Western Heights High School students are joining in, with the schools Amnesty International group leading the way.
Year 13 student Sylvia Song, who helped resurrect the group last year, said the goal was to raise awareness of the issue.
"I was seeing it happen and thought it would be good to get involved and help out."
