Diversity Week, 21-25 October

Diversity week is a unique opportunity to celebrate the wide diversity from within our school community and to express ourselves in fun and diverse ways. It is about respecting and understanding ourselves and others and exploring the richness of our backgrounds, cultures and languages as an international community.

This learner-led week offers a plethora of fun activities including House competitions, music, dance, food, films, handicrafts and games from around the world.

On Friday the 25th of October learners are invited to dress up in a way that reflects who they are, which might reflect a national dress or a culture that they identify with. The culmination of the week will be that Friday lunchtime where there will be musical and dance performances to enjoy alongside a wide variety of learner and parent stalls.
