Cultural Heritage Day

Monday 5 August was a wonderfully colourful day at Somerville as students and staff wore clothes that represented their culture to celebrate our Cultural Heritage Day. Below is a snapshot of the celebrations.

Cultural diversity, inclusion, and caring are integral parts of our school’s culture. We work hard to create an environment where all students feel proud of their heritage, while learning to respect and understand the cultures of others. By fostering this environment, we aim to prepare our students to become global citizens who embrace diversity and contribute positively to an interconnected world.

Our international students prepared cultural display boards in the gym, showcasing the traditional cultures of China, Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand. They also organised fun interactive games such as fortune wheel, pitch-pot, chopsticks challenge, poem puzzles, dress-up photo booths, and shuttlecock kicking. The entire school not only learned a lot about the cultures and traditions of various countries but also had a fun day playing games, winning prizes, dressing up, and taking lots of photos.
