EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSIVITY COMMITTEE

What is the overarching aim of your committee?

To create an environment where education on differences between people is a priority, and acceptance and valuation of these differences is the base standard We aim to achieve this through means of interactive education and exciting events and opportunities that the school community can partake in - an example of this being the Spotify posters we have put up around school!

What have been your priorities this year and how have you gone about them?

Our priorities have been building interest in the EDI committee consistently while ensuring people are still engaged in what we are saying. This will set us up for the next academic year where we hope to organise bigger events, such as a culture day, along with various workshops. We have created and rolled out a variety of posters with links to playlists with songs representative of various continents, showcasing a variety of ethnic music and promoting interest in our committee through non-offensive, interactive material. We also gave an assembly to the Lower School on 'Cultural Appropriation vs Cultural Appreciation'. We have continued the Spotify playlists through to Pride Month by creating a playlist by LGBTQ+ artists, and posters have been put up around the school so keep an eye out!
