This week, our students engaged in a series of meaningful activities to honor the legacy of Stephen Lawrence. They delved into the history of Stephen’s case, gaining a deeper understanding of the importance of justice and equality. Through workshops and discussions, they explored what it means to be anti-racist and how to actively contribute to a more inclusive society.
To culminate the week, we held a “Wear Something Orange” day, where students and staff donned orange attire in memory of Stephen Lawrence, symbolizing our commitment to standing against racism and promoting unity.
We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and enthusiasm throughout this week. Together, we continue to build a community rooted in respect, empathy, and equality. 🌟
