Students in Years 7 and 8 celebrated Diwali this week by sharing messages of positivity for a display. During form time students were encouraged to reflect on the story of Rama and Sita, considering how there is always light over darkness, to create their own message of positivity and celebration to share with students and staff in school. Messages were written onto colourfully decorated lamps which Miss Kaur, who organised the form time activities, used to create the vibrant display in Humanities.
Staff also contributed messages of positivity for the display, with Ms Woodall, Teacher of RE writing “Diwali is the festival of light. It celebrates that good will always win. We can take this message forward into our lives, it makes us strong in our thoughts and actions – good always triumphs”.
Celebrations were extended with a special Samosa sale to raise money for Breast Cancer Research. Miss Kaur said “Diwali is such an important celebration to so many students and staff in school. It was lovely to see so many students across school participate in the sharing of messages and buying of Samosas to support in school celebrations and this important charity”.
