Our school takes pride in the 52 different countries of origin for students at SHS. This is such a diverse pool of different nationalities, religions, and cultures.
The concept of diversity is about respect and acceptance. It means understanding and recognizing that each person is unique and different – whether it is by race, gender, age, beliefs, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation.
In this issue, we explored some of the many different backgrounds of the students in our school. These are nowhere near all of the countries or nationalities present, but we hope that this provides a snapshot of our diversity. Please note that if a country receives more space than others, it does not mean that it is more important.
This issue is about understanding each other and embracing and celebrating the diversity of each individual.
