The SLT or any educator who is conducting the assembly will address the students positively saying good morning to all. One can start this assembly with the sign of the cross: "In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen"
Introduction
The World Health Organisation acknowledges March 21st as World Down Syndrome Day. This year it was on a Sunday, but we still decided to keep on with raising awareness in our school during this assembly.
There is not so much to add to the message of this video…. We are all special but we all share the same basic needs such as the need to love and be loved. The call for us today is to grow up and look beyond physical appearances and labels. The call for us is to respect everyone including people with Downs Syndrome and their families. We will say no to bullying these people.
God, we pray for all the youths and adults who are being bullied or are disrespected because they have Downs Syndrome. We pray that you give us the courage to support Dear, love and respect one another. Fill the families of people with Down's Syndrome with hope. Amen.
