Harmony Day

We may only have two weeks left of this term, but they are going to be busy! This week, we celebrated Harmony Day and recognised the importance of our cultural differences, by wearing splashes of orange and sharing positive messages with staff and fellow students. The red and green hearts we shared with each other were also a symbol of our support for the ongoing struggles of the people of Gaza. It was so great to see the students getting involved in this activity and great to hear such positive conversations happening around the College.

Easter

Next, we will be thinking about all things Easter and we will be running a “Guess the Number of Easter Eggs competition”. So, get excited, get your guesses ready and keep an eye out for the jar of eggs. We also have several fun (and perhaps a little challenging?) Easter-themed activities planned for the last day of term.

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club is still proving to be a popular place each morning, with lots of conversations being had and new friendships developing. As we head into the cooler weather, I have had a few requests for the return of a warm milo or tea, so we will look at that for Term 2.

Finally, a thought to take into your weekend, as we reflect on what Harmony Day represents, “Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day.” – Winston Churchill
Enjoy the last two weeks of the term, they are sure to fly by!
