Multicultural Day

On Monday we celebrated the rich diversity of our school community: students and staff were encouraged to come dressed in clothing reflecting their individual identity: their ethnic background, a flag they identify with, a team they support, etc.  At lunchtime we watched a range of dance styles in the Main Hall and sampled food from all over the world brought in by students.

During period 5, students engaged in discussions around what defines identity to help raise awareness about our diverse community and their disparate life experiences.  The money raised on the day will be donated to the 3 student-elected charities:

• a local charity : Oasis Domestic Abuse https://www.oasisdaservice.org/
• a national charity: RSPCA https://www.rspca.org.uk
• a charity supporting diversity: Just Like Us https://www.justlikeus.org/ 

It was wonderful to see the whole school come together and demonstrate what an inclusive, respectful community we are.
