From our Cultural Diversity Captain, 2024

This year, the Cultural Diversity Club had an exceptional journey, embracing and celebrating the rich cultures at our School. Every student including myself has gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the diverse backgrounds within St Catherine’s.  

In our fortnightly sessions, we have organised activities like playing games, random dance challenge, and lunchtime movies. The highlight of the year would have been the ‘random K-pop dance challenge.’ Many students from different Year levels and teachers showed their dancing talents. The large audiences gave the dancers cheers and claps reflecting that the students did a fabulous job.   

Another highlight of the year would be when it was Chinese New Year. Even though some students were already very familiar with this celebration day, hearing students with different backgrounds, different cities, and with different customs and etiquette, allowed us to learn more about how different families celebrate this special day. We were all able to gain a deeper understanding and learned more about each other.   

The Cultural Diversity Club has not only encouraged inclusivity and respect within our School but also created life lasting bonds among students with different backgrounds. It has been a year of learning, sharing, and growing together. I look forward to seeing our School continuing the journey of cultural celebration in the years to come.
