We will be watching 2 episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena!
About the show: The series follows Utena Tenjou, an orphaned teenage girl who expresses her childhood desire to be a prince through her strong-willed personality and tomboyish manner of dress. She finds herself drawn into a series of sword duels to win the hand of Anthy Himemiya, a mysterious girl known as the "Rose Bride" who possesses the "power to revolutionize the world".
The launch of the TDSB GSA Network was an event to share some of what we’ve done so far, what we hope to do, and most importantly create spaces for all of us to connect as staff to discuss what we’re doing, what we need, and what we have to offer.
If you weren't able to attend, contact us at tdsbgsanetwork@gmail.com for a copy of the recording.
