Festival of Culture – Wednesday 12th March 2025
Dear Parents/Carers
On Wednesday 12th March 2025 we will be celebrating our second annual Festival of Culture! This is a reminder of what to expect on the day, and a reminder regarding uniform expectations. The day will be a drop down of sessions exploring a range of cultures from around the world.
All students can wear non-school uniform on the day with a donation of £1. Year 7 and 11 should wear clothes comfortable for practical activity due to some elements of their day. The non-school uniform we would love to see expressed are colours relating to our students’ and families cultural heritage. Some staff will be in their traditional cultural dress on the day. If this is not possible then we ask that students wear red in support of ‘Show Racism the Red Card’: https://www.theredcard.org/
- Year 7 will be exploring culture through the arts with our Art, Drama and Music teams;
- Year 8 will be exploring culture through language with our English and MFL teams;
- Year 9 will be exploring cultural celebrations with the Humanities team;
- Year 10 will be exploring culture, technology and enterprise with our DT and Science teams;
- Year 11 will be exploring culture through wellbeing with our PE and Social Science team.
Student groups and timetables will be shared during tutor time ahead of the day, with additional information about individual sessions also being shared. Groupings, timetables and rooming will be available around the Academy on the day to support students throughout the day.
We very much look forward to sharing this day with the students and the wider Hanham community, with our intention for this annual event being a great opportunity to celebrate our diversity as an Academy. If you have any questions, please do contact me by email at [email protected].
