Cultural diversity

Celebrating cultural

diversity

Fourteen dedicated, creative and enthusiastic Year 7 students participated in ‘The Calendar for Cultural Diversity 2016’ Art competition for Years K-12. This competition aimed to celebrate our vast cultures and identities as well as foster intercultural understanding and community harmony. The theme for this year’s calendar was ‘Heritage’.

With only this information to go by, these imaginative and motivated students produced a wide range of paintings, collages and mixed media artworks that celebrated their communal cultures and personal heritages. Out of the artworks that were submitted, we were lucky to have one artwork to be selected for inclusion in  the NSW Department of Education publication -  Cultural Diversity Calendar for 2017.

The artwork above, ‘Rangoli’, by Samantha Granic and Khushi Kullar, will be published in next year’s calendar and distributed to every government schools across the NSW as well as showcased on the official NSW Department of Education and Cecil Hills High School social media accounts. Congratulations to Samantha and Khushi for this amazing achievement and the following students for their hard work and dedication to the arts - Laresa Bebah, Hilary Chap, Jasmine Cox, Jayde Cox, Hannah Garner, Sonia Hoang, Maria Jabro, Kristina Knezevic, Katelyn Lee, Jessica Ngov, Joanne Nguyen, Angie Somchanmavong, Rosalind Sou.
