UN Day – Celebrating Diversity and Cultural Inclusivity at Canterbury College
At Canterbury College, we believe that diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Celebrating the many cultures, backgrounds, and stories that make up our community fosters a sense of belonging, understanding, and unity among our students. When young people are encouraged to embrace their heritage and to appreciate the uniqueness of others they grow into more empathetic, globally minded individuals.
This week, our community came together for one of the most vibrant and meaningful events on our calendar: United Nations Day. It was a powerful celebration of cultural pride and inclusivity, with (insert number) countries represented in our joyful Parade of Nations. Students dressed in traditional attire proudly carried their flags, sharing a piece of their identity with the wider College.
We were treated to (insert number) exceptional performances, from traditional dances to music that reflected the rich cultural tapestry of our school. These performances not only entertained but also educated and inspired, showing the beauty that comes from embracing and honouring difference.
Adding to the celebration, (insert number) families generously prepared and served delicious dishes from their home countries, transforming our campus into a global food market. The joy, connection, and pride felt across the day reminded us of the deep value in recognising and celebrating each other’s cultures.
As I reflect on my final week as Acting Principal, it fills me with pride to have been part of such a special occasion in the life of our school. United Nations Day was a perfect reminder of what makes Canterbury so unique; our commitment to inclusivity, unity, and community spirit.
I would also like to warmly welcome back Mr Walker as he returns from his sabbatical and resumes his role from the beginning of Term 3. Thank you to every student, staff member, and family for your support and for allowing me the honour of serving as Acting Principal throughout Term 2.
