Ascension of Our Lord: Mapping Our Diversity
Ascension of Our Lord: Mapping Our Diversity project seeks to celebrate the diverse backgrounds of our students and staff by mapping out all the places they come from around the world.
We hope this the project fosters a sense of belonging and pride within the school community, and promotes a greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures that make up a diverse tapestry of our school community.
“We are greater than, and greater for, the sum of us.”
