Eid Festival

Eid Festival – A Student Reflection

Being part of this year’s Eid Festival at Cranbourne Secondary College was one of the highlights of my time at school. I’ve had the privilege of participating in numerous cultural events over the years, but leading this one felt especially meaningful.

The theatre was packed – parents, friends, teachers, and students filled the space with excitement and support. Together, we celebrated Eid through dance, music, traditional clothing, and food that represented our cultures with pride and joy. It wasn’t just a performance – it was a moment where everyone came together to appreciate the beauty of our diverse community.

Many of us rehearsed for weeks, dedicating time during lunch and after school to ensure everything was perfect. I’m so grateful for the support we received from our teachers, especially Ms Carr, who stood by us every step of the way. Mrs Collette and Mahonri were amazing supports on the day. Behind the scenes, many other staff members also helped out – it truly was a team effort.

Eid is a much-loved fixture on our college calendar, and it shows how much Cranbourne Secondary College values culture, community, and inclusion. As a student and a proud member of this community, I feel seen and respected every time we hold events like this.

I hope future students continue to lead and celebrate their cultures with confidence, because when we share who we are, we make the whole school stronger.
