PHS Diversity Group Voice of Hope

Pink Shirt Day

The Pukekohe High School Diversity Group was established late this year and we have already begun to achieve great things. The Diversity Group is a group of students that get together to talk about issues that the LGBTQ+ community faces.

We’re making an impact by showing our faces, presented with rainbows and positivity. The purpose of the Diversity club in 2020 was to represent those who have not had real representation before, and we hoped to do this by gaining respect and encouragement from our peers. 2020 has been a great year of change for the LGBTQ+ community at Pukekohe High School from representation to educating people on all of our rights. We sincerely hope that PHS continues to embrace our community in years to come.

Plus PHS supported other events like Pink Shirt Day (anti bullying) to show manaakitanga to students and staff, where students and staff wore pink shirts to unite against bullying.

We also had voice of hope’s Genevieve Mora and Jazz Thornton speak at a school assembly about Mental Health – very powerful presenters.
