On Monday 20th November, year 5.3 prepared a special assembly regarding diversity. Students presented the topic by discussing a book they had read previously in class. The book underlined how we are all different from each other, which makes us unique in our own way. Students underlined how we face our daily activities in our own different ways, how we can all achieve our aims and most importantly, the importance of accepting each other just as we are. Our class wanted to show that at the end of the day, when we join forces together, we can create beautiful things – that is why we took the concept of different puzzle pieces which together can create something beautiful.

On 23 November 2023 the students of Year 6.3 presented a special assembly titled, ‘Diversity through the Diversity Wheel’. A few students formed the word ‘diversity’ and they explained how diversity embraces differences and includes people from all walks of life. Three students from three different countries shared their greetings in their languages. Here is what they said:
Country: Togo
French: Bonjour à tous, ravi de vous rencontrer.
English: Hello everyone, nice to meet you.
Country: Egypt
Arabic: مرحباً وأنا سعيد بلقائكم جميعاً
Arabic (pronounced): Marhabaan wa ana saeidun bi liqayikum ġemiaen.
English: Hello and nice to meet you all.
Country: The Philippines
Filipino: Magandang umaga sainyong lahat at ikinatutuwa ko kayo makilala.
English: Good morning everyone and nice to meet you.
The class also explained that the disversity wheel is a great way to remember how different people are from each other. The students then ended the assembly by reciting a poem about embracing your own unique self.
