World's Biggest School Assembly - as it happened
Key points
- The World's Biggest School Assembly on the BBC: for one day, schools around the world have told us what matters to them
- We've heard from schools from all over the world including pupils in Burma, Ghana, China, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand, Ukraine, Indonesia, UK, and Spain
- The environment, the credit crunch, education, social media, whaling, drugs, poverty, families and Nicki Minaj got young people around the world talking
Good morning and welcome to the World's Biggest School Assembly on the BBC. Today, for 24 hours, schools across the world will be telling us what matters to them.
We begin at 0100 BST and already schools have been in touch to tell us about their exciting plans.
Our colleagues at the BBC World Service are also stationed at various schools around the globe, ready to bring you some fascinating stories.
Students at St Joseph's College in Albany, Western Australia have already held their assembly and this is what they had to say:
"From May to October Humpback whales and Southern rite whales migrate through Albany (where we live), leaving their young in the harbour.
"These are two of the species that are hunted in some countries. Our town's economy was once based on whaling but now tourists flock to see these majestic creatures in our harbour.
"This is why whaling is important to us."
We're really looking forward to hearing from St Philip Howard Catholic High School, West Sussex, later on. They're concerned that social media is affecting our ability to communicate face-to-face.
St Joseph's Catholic College in Swindon, UK have plans to tackle a highly topical subject - unemployment. We'll find out later how confident their students feel about their future prospects.
Pupils at Healesville Primary School in Australia are having their say via Twitter. You can join in the debate too using #bbcassembly

Healesville School,Victoria, Australia tweet:
#bbcassembly I think my friends matter to me because they support me in what ever I do. Lillian
#bbcassembly What matters to me is having my good friends by my side when I need them and to hang out with. Tali
#bbcassembly The thing that is important to me is my family because they're loving, caring, and also friendly and I love them for that. Brian
Don't forget BBC World Service will be featuring schools throughout the day and you can listen live here.
BBC reporter Alex Jakana is with pupils at Multikids Academyin Accra, Ghana and will be on air with World Schools Have Your Say later.
"The school is inspiring. The kids are looking forward to the World Schools Have your Say and they keep going over their chosen topics of discussion and fine-tuning their viewpoints.
"The minute I pulled out my microphone, a number of them came to me and were eager to talk. That included a young deaf and dumb primary pupil who reached out, grabbed the mic and tried to speak into it.
"It is inspiring to see children who struggle with autism, cerebral palsy, and ADD playing and studying alongside their main-stream colleagues."
It's time to hear what matters to St. John Fisher College, near Brisbane on the east coast of Australia.
St. John Fisher College, Australia have produced a great video in which students talk about what really matters to them. Take a look.
Teacher at St. John Fisher College, Sharee Lane, says: "St John. Fisher is a school where people treat each other with respect and dignity - and where we value and celebrate our wonderful relationships in the everyday activities of school life".
St. John Fisher is an all-girls Catholic school attended by around 460 students. So, what matters to them?
"What matters to us is where we all come together to have fun and celebrate each other's wonderful and different talents" - Bridgeman, Year 10.
Quinn, Year 8, adds: "Respecting each other. Our school is a place where everyone treats one another nicely. When you walk about the place, people you don't even know smile at you".
Quinn adds: "If you were to go to our swimming carnival or athletics day, everyone in the whole school would cheer for you. If you weren't the best or if you were struggling, then they'd just cheer even harder."
Great to hear, and this attitude obviously pays dividends - one St. John Fisher alumnus is swimmer Emily Seebohm, gold-medallist in the 2007 World Championships.
A massive thanks to the college for participating in the World's Biggest School Assembly on the BBC!

Over now to Green Oasis School in Shenzhen, China, a school with a multi-national flavour. They've got significant numbers of students from Korea, India, Taiwan and Hong Kong. So what matters to them?
Before we hear from the pupils, here's a look at their assembly - which featured a flag-raising ceremony in the school playground:
For student Jessica, what really matters is her future. "As a Korean student studying in an international school in China, there are some important decisions I have to make. I'll be leaving Green Oasis School after a year, and there are three options given to me. Each of these three options mean a different future - this is far too important and hard a decision for a 15-year-old girl to make."
We're hearing of lots of exciting plans for the day ahead on The World's Biggest School Assembly. Eunrim Kang is a teacher at Dong Middle School in Jeju, South Korea. He tells us of his pupils' plans for their assembly:
"In Korea, getting a job is so hard because there are not many chances due to the economical crisis. As a result students study too much to get good grades so that they can get a nice job when they grow up."
He adds:
"If we can share ideas about various jobs all over the world, our students will be able to dream their dreams widely!"
And to sign off for Green Oasis School, in China, here's Sally with a comment we're sure all you students out there will agree with:
"There are many things that are important to me, but one of the things that is very important is going to school. It helps me to find friends. It also helps me to find courage and make my reading better and better."
We have received an amazing picture from M. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth School in West Bengal, India as pupils gather for their assembly.
We would love to see pictures from your assembly, so why not email them to us at firstname.lastname@example.com ?

We're looking forward to hearing from students taking part in the World's Biggest School Assembly on the BBC at Dagon 1 Basic Education High School.

The Kalibobo School in Papua New Guinea is a private international primary school for children aged 5 to 12 years. They have just 14 pupils on the school roll, with 10 nationalities represented between them. Here's what some of their students had to say:
"Smokes, beer and drinks are drugs. We think beer and drinks are the same as drugs...Everyone should stop making alcohol and stop making drugs. That's what's important to us right now."
Teresa is a teacher at the Kalibobo School. She says:
"What we found interesting as observers is that the children saw no discrepancies between alcohol and illegal drugs - adults always tend to make a distinction, but these children don't see a difference. "

Shifting the focus now to Kahala, Hawaii, where Hawaii Chinese Immersion School is based. The school teaches Mandarin to non-native children.
The school deserve a special mention for organising their assembly a day early! With teaching starting at 3pm each day, and Hawaii 10 hours behind GMT, it's just coming up to Monday tea-time there - so well done for managing to take part!
So what matters to students holding their assembly at Hawaii Chinese Immersion School?
Teacher Ms Lily tells us: "What matters most to us is recognising that we are not insulated from the world. As 'no man is an island' - even if we live on the most isolated land mass (Hawaii) on earth".
Thanks to Ms Lily's class from Hawaii Chinese Immersion School in Hawaii for taking part in the World's Biggest Assembly on the BBC. They've been discussing what matters to them.
Deborah, a pupil from Hawaii Chinese Immersion School, says what matters to her is "learning about Chinese culture because it helps me to connect with my family."
For Daralyn, it's "learning new and different things", and for Lexie, it's "getting a chance to learn a different language".
A really big thanks to the school for taking part - hopefully we bought the world a bit closer to Hawaii today!
It's 0600 BST. London is waking up, and the World's Biggest Assembly on the BBC is taking place across the globe. In the next hour we'll be hearing from students at the world's biggest school - The City Montessori School in Lucknow in India. They'll be live on the BBC World Service talking about what's important to them.
But we also want to hear from you. Hold your own school assembly, take part in ours and tell us what matters to you. Email in via email@example.com
Something a bit different now, as we focus on the theme of sport here at the World's Biggest Assembly on the BBC. We asked students from Hangzhou Entel School in China about their favourite sports, and got quite a range of answers.
We'll be posting some of these over the next half-hour. Tell us what you think. Do you agree with their comments? Or do you disagree? Join the discussion by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
First up on our sporting mini-thread is Ted, 13. He's a pupil at Hangzhou Entel school. He says: "I would think that basketball would be the favourite sport for me - although I am not very good at it, as I'm quite short! But it's pretty good for me because it includes running, jumping, and shooting - and it is a sport that people play in almost every country".
More on the sport debate taking place as part of the World's Biggest Assembly on the BBC: Lucy from Hangzhou in China says she likes long distance running "because when you run you can think about a lot of things. When I run I push my limit to extremes and I really enjoy that."
A fellow pupil, Shee, meanwhile, loves gymnastics "because you see not only speed and physical strength in gymnastics but you also see beauty."
Please tell us what your favourite sports are. Do you enjoy watching or participating? We'd love to hear from you on email@example.com
While the sport debate continues, there are plenty of other issues being discussed today. We heard from the Garden International School in Bangkok, Thailand earlier and they've been in touch again to tell us more about what matters to them.
The Garden International School is open to children from two to 16 years of age and has almost 40 different nationalities among the pupils.
The children of Year 1 were very concerned about the issues of poverty and hunger. They explained that the solution to this issue was very simply about sharing.
Eight-year-old Binta says: "We care about plant life so that we can have oxygen and clean air to breathe. Without trees and plants there would be no food. Plants also make the world beautiful which makes you feel fresh and happy."
Back on the sport debate one pupil has a completely different perspective.
"I am one of those students who doesn't enjoy sports at all...Sport to me is like suffering - a really big challenge."
But not a wholly fruitless one: "It teaches the lesson no pain, no gain."
So, a few different opinions so far on the importance of sport. We'll be holding a few similar discussions today on various topics, so keep an eye out for those.
Whether you're a student or a teacher, we're keen to know: is sport important in your school? And if not, what is? Let us know! Just email your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com
More from pupils from the Garden International School in Bangkok, Thailand where children across the school gave their views.
Their year four students decided that trees and water were important to them: "The trees are most important because they give you food, oxygen and paper," said Alex, 8, with Katie, 9, adding, "we need water otherwise we will get dehydrated".
With the rainy season approaching, students in year five discussed the issue of flooding in the area. Year six pupils focused on environmental issues: "If we keep polluting this planet we'll have nothing left," said James, 11, while the provision of inclusive and accessible education as a right for all children concerned year seven pupils the most.
A special congratulations to Sekolah Bisa!in Indonesia- this school's name literally means: "I Can School!" Pupils there celebrated the school's first birthday on May 3.
The school was built by 16 and 17-year-old students from The British International School in Jakarta.
Sekolah Bisa is one of our smallest schools taking part today, with just 25 pupils, all of whom live in an adjacent shanty, and who otherwise would have no access to education.
And a final contribution from pupils at the Garden International School in Bangkok. They've sent some thoughts in from their year eight and nine pupils.
"The topic that most concerns us at the moment is the extinction of species. We are worried about this because once a species is lost it is gone forever and cannot be brought back.
"We don't think that enough is done to protect endangered species to stop them from becoming extinct."
Their year nine pupils cited two strong leaders who are role models for peace - Martin Luther King and Gandhi.
AleyPublic School have been in touch via our Facebook page: "Assembly in will start in few minutes, let's hope this day meets success!"
Take a moment to look at this slideshow. It shows pupils from Sekolah Bisa- a school in Indonesia. The school's name means "The I Can School".
Here are many of the school's pupils in their assembly, discussing what matters to them.
Via Facebook: "Assembly at Makassed Khalil Shehab School, Lebanon, will begin in 10 minutes. Fingers crossed :)"
Agus, the oldest child at Sekolah Bisa, had to drop out of government school a year ago. Sekolah Bisa provides him with a free education. What matters to him? A good teacher.

The Year 4 pupils at Wesgreen International School in the United Arab Emirates felt that advertising mattered the most to them.
Aisha said: "Sometimes I think advertisers don't really tell the truth about their product", while Niveen noted that adverts only feature famous people because "people who are famous can make a lot of money for companies".
Well done and thanks to Wesgreen International School for taking part!
