Another world

is possible

Represented by Year 9 students Daniel Gatica and Bilal Shah at Cabramatta High School’s Peace Day celebrations on the Tuesday 13th November. We were part of 20 other schools who joined to hear 2018 Sydney Peace Prize winner Joseph Stglitz address the gathering.

Professor Joseph Stiglitz want to see a change in the economy from a divided society of the rich and powerful, who have political might over others and the remainders.  A report conducted by Oxfam shows that 82% of all wealth created in the last year went to the top 1%, which the bottom 50% saw now increase at all.

The focus of the day was that another world is possible and that our students can made the change. We walked the avenue of nationalities representing our diverse population. Doves were released in our hope of peace throughout the world.

Each school was presented with a ceramic white poppy. The white poppy represents remembrance for all victims of war, it is a pledge to peace and to challenge militarism.
