MultiPride

2018 was another dynamic year for MultiPride. Throughout the year students meet once a week and discuss issues and decide on what actions to take. This year we took surveys on lockers and on the cultural background of students.in the school.

We began the year with our annual trip to the Point Leo Surf Lifesaving Club. We meet the surf lifesaving team who teach our students to surf. They put a lunch on for us and then we have an annual game of soccer on the beach.

We produced the 14th Polyhood festival in March. The Pasifika students involved feel a great sense of pride performing new and traditional cultural dances, songs and music. The students organise all aspects including administration and backstage.

Students worked through Ramadan to produce the Eid festival celebration at the end of Term 2. This is the 3rd year of the now annual event and after a delicious meal, tea and sweets, the community experienced performances by the students.

MultiPride continued to hold their Let’s Talk About It sessions at the start of the year. There was some useful feedback from students which was communicated to Mr Massouris.

At the lunchtime Asian Festival in August students held various activities including a K Pop dance class, a K Pop video screening in the theatre and henna tattooing in the canteen annexe.

Students continue to join our dynamic MultiPride group and wear their Maroon jumper and badge around the school. Students know that they can talk to them in the yard or at any time about issues they are having at the school.
