International Women’s Day

The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day was ‘Inclusion’, calling for individuals to envision a gender-equal world that is free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination, and is instead diverse, equitable, and inclusive. This objective aligns closely with our school’s core values of compassion, dignity, and social responsibility.

In preparation for the assemblies held throughout the week, we posed key questions to our students regarding the significance of including others and how we can ensure that everyone, both within and outside of our school community, feels a sense of belonging. The overwhelming response was that demonstrating kindness is essential for fostering growth within any community.

Subsequently, we asked each student to nominate ways in which we can show kindness to others. As a result, we have created a kindness calendar and will be encouraging students to participate in various acts of kindness. This will be led by the new student Respect council who will be the first to trial the 28 days of kindness challenge.
