Here are some reflections from the students:

“I think the language captains did a good job of hosting the assembly. I also enjoyed the ribbon dance. The language captains made the breaks parts funny. I think the language teachers did a great job for planning it.”

Shayen – 6ND

“My favourite part of the assembly was the Indian cultural dance because it is part of my culture and my religion. I also enjoyed the lion and dragon dance because the lion dance expressed the Chinese culture and was extremely amazing to see. It was wonderful to see every one dressed in their traditional clothing. The school was so colourful on the cultural diversity day.” Sid – 6AL

“The whole school dance was one of the best as it made everyone energetic for the rest of the day. It showed the teachers and parents the extensive amount of practise the whole school did. However the Gong Xi dance song was the best. It got all the students together and more close. Overall Diversity Day was for students and teachers to show what country they are from. It does not matter whether you are from Asia, Europe, Africa or Australia.” Rohan – 6AL

“我很喜欢多元文化日的活动。我喜欢小品表演。我还喜欢看新疆舞和彩带舞，因为他们的服装很漂亮。我也很喜欢中国书法，因为我觉得很有意思。我们画了猪，还看了中国的画家的画。”
