Multicultural Day - Wednesday 21 May
As we celebrate Multicultural Day, students are invited to represent cultures of the world! Join us for a fun-filled day of cultural exchange.
As part of our commitment to fostering a strong sense of belonging for our students, we’re excited to support a student-led initiative. Our student leaders have requested that on Multicultural Day, students are permitted to wear an accessory that reflects their culture or heritage. This might include a jersey, jumper, scarf, socks, or earrings that symbolise their cultural identity. Our international students are also invited to wear full cultural attire during the morning tea celebration in the Arts Hall.
At First break, there will be cultural dance performances and games in the Arts hall.
Please don't hesitate to contact the Belonging Prefects if you have any questions on
