This week was Trinity’s Culture and Diversity Week, an opportunity for the school community to immerse itself in a variety of cultures and customs from around the world.
The highlight of the week was today’s non-uniform day, with students encouraged to celebrate their heritage by wearing cultural clothing or a colour associated with their nationality/ies. This annual event has been growing in popularity, and it was brilliant to see so many staff and students across the whole school proudly showcasing their heritage in beautiful national dress and connecting with others around the school.
In the heart of the school, the Circus area featured a huge world map, and each day staff and students have been using stickers to plot their heritage. We now have a stunning visual of our vibrant, diverse community that makes Trinity so unique.
During form time, there have been activities to celebrate diversity including a scavenger hunt, a Maths diversity quiz, and dedicated assemblies for the Lower and Middle School.
The African and Caribbean Club was relaunched to the whole school, inviting students to learn about African and Caribbean culture.
The Language Department, and our student Language Ambassadors, hosted a special fair to celebrate the many languages spoken by members of our community. There were different activities enabling students to learn words in a wide range of languages and a quiz.
Our wonderful catering team has been supporting the week, by serving up a delicious menu of foods every day from South Africa, Bhutan, Hungary, Australia and Bolivia.
Some of our student-run societies embraced the theme for the week, with Classics Society discussing ‘Living Like Diogenes: a view into the life of an ancient philosopher from Asia Minor’ and Politics Society covering ‘A Tale of Two Countries: How Haiti came to be politically destabilised’.
Culture and Diversity Week was established by the senior prefect team in 2021 and has become a staple of the school calendar.
