ST PAUL’S CELEBRATES DIVERSITYMULTICULTURAL DAY

Multicultural Day took place this year in St Paul's on the 10th of March, the event was even bigger and better than last year. We had over 15 different Nationalities participate raising awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals with a focus on SDG 10 'Reducing Inequalities', SDG 4 'Quality Education' and SDG 3 'Good Health and Well-being.' Our TY Global Schools class organised and promoted the event. The whole school got to visit each countries' table and learn something new about the culture, language and food! Maichaela Sombilla from 5th year took part on the day and the following is her account of her experience.

My experience from partaking in the St Paul's Multicultural day was a memorable one, It was a great opportunity for everyone to showcase their culture and ethnic backgrounds. Me and my friend met new peers that became friends from other years that helped us in creating a lively display with food from our homeland that people could try alongside with music. Many people decorated their stalls in different ways, I-Pads with PowerPoints, Jewellery and our display included a board that showed the history, geography and various facts about the Philippines. It was interesting so see the different clothing styles everyone wore as well. One of the most memorable things though was playing with students and teachers a traditional Filipino board game called "Sungka" which uses seashells, alongside with the iconic music and small chats, telling people about our second home. This day was about trying new foods, games,
