Celebrating Diversity in 1/2!

This Term in 1/2 our Faith Based Inquiry focus is ‘Places’.  Our Big Questions are ‘How are we part of a global family?’, ‘How are we all connected?’

We have had lots of discussions about the importance of everyone feeling respected and included.

 At St. Joseph’s we value our motto “There is always room for one more!”

We have enjoyed exploring lots of facts about the Olympics.  At the Olympics, the whole world comes together to celebrate sports in an inclusive atmosphere. We had a mini Olympics day at school.  We all got to work together and celebrate diversity by dressing up and sharing food from different cultures.
