BHM Activities

BHM Assembly

The Black History Month assembly at Immaculata celebrates Black culture, history, and achievements through presentations, music, dance, spoken word, guest speakers, and workshops. It educates students about social issues, civil rights movements, and the journey towards equality and justice.

Students and staff at Immaculata celebrated Black History through music, fashion shows, dance, cooking, and lots more.

Virtual Cooking/Food Fair

Every year, as a way to celebrate Black History Month, Immaculata organizes a food fair where various students and staff bring food from their different countries to showcase and share with everyone else. The purpose of this food fair is to celebrate the diversity among Black people and everyone in school. BSA has done an amazing job in continuously doing this celebration for the past years.

BSA Hoodies

BSA used to have MAC wear BSA shirts, available to everyone, but for the past year of 2023, we decided to change it to hoodies. On the front of these hoodies, shows a black woman with an afro with the words "MAC BSA 2023." On the back of these hoodies is a representation of education and how it is a powerful weapon. Stating " Education is the most powerful, powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela

Culture day

MAC BSA usually ends Black History Month in the grandest way possible either having a culture day or a fashion show. On the last day of February, MAC BSA organized a culture day allowing all students and staff members to wear and flaunt their cultural attires at school. The purpose of this culture day was to establish the fact that Africa is colourful and although we are different in certain ways, we are all beautiful and unique.

Black Student Forum

This one-day event allows black students to meet and give voice to their collective experiences within their school communities.

The forum aims to provide a safe affinity space for black students to discuss how their life experiences affect their academic success and well-being—allowing them to meet and connect with students from other schools and building a sense of a board-wide community.

A big takeaway for students attending past forums is that their voice matters. They feel heard, seen, respected, and welcomed, knowing they have a family and a community surrounding them in their schools. The day will ends with networking and an exchange of ideas that will lead to an action plan within the Board’s 15 high schools.
