Grade 7 textile students have been working hard this week on the production of their final products for their current unit – Felt Monsters. Students have been utilizing their practical skills learnt during this unit as well as their research conducted to design and make their individual creations. Watch this space for the completion of their final monsters!
We had a meaningful and insightful session with Ms. Laura and Ms. Abbey as guest speakers for the 'New Muslim' session at GIS. Such sessions can be incredibly valuable for fostering understanding, tolerance, and appreciation for diverse spiritual journeys.
Listening to personal stories of individuals who have embraced Islam can help break down stereotypes and misconceptions, providing a more nuanced understanding of the faith. It's commendable that they were open to answering questions from the students, as this can further enrich the learning experience and create a space for open dialogue.
These types of sessions not only contribute to the cultural and religious diversity within the school community but also promote empathy and respect among students. Learning about others' spiritual journeys can be a powerful way to encourage tolerance and acceptance in a multicultural environment.
We plan to have more opportunities for similar sessions in the future, it could continue to foster a sense of unity and understanding among students, creating an environment that celebrates diversity and promotes inclusivity.
