Cultural Diversity

It has been an honour and a pleasure for me to lead in my final year at St Catherine’s School as the Cultural Diversity Captain for 2022. Together with Ms Okumura, I have organised and run regular Club meetings as part of my responsibilities, giving all in the School community access to a joyful and safe space to socialise. In doing so, I have been guided by the inclusion principle, which I have consistently emphasised throughout the year. In more than three assemblies, I have eagerly presented Club updates and the value of inclusivity in special occasions like the nationally observed Harmony Day. The popular Scottish dancing led by Mr Brown at the Cultural Diversity Assembly was one of the cultural dance performances by teachers and students as part of our Club’s varied activities. Moreover, we have conducted a survey to gauge the many backgrounds present in our School and highlight the diversity and unique dynamic we have. Without a question, it has been an incredible year, and it has been wonderful to witness the development of new connections within the Club as we concentrate on raising cultural awareness through entertaining events. I have grown in my sense of duty to ensure everyone feels included, as of my personal experience relocating to Australia in 2019.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been selected as the Cultural Diversity Captain.
