Cultural Day

On Thursday of week 10 (29th September) it is our school’s Cultural Day.
It is a great day for us to celebrate our amazingly diverse school community.

Cultural Day will begin with a parade in the morning and students are encouraged to come to
school dressed in traditional clothes (or something that reflects this) of the culture they relate to. If your child(ren) would prefer not to do this, then they just wear their school uniform. In the case that the traditional clothing is special, students are able to change out of them and back into their school uniforms following the parade.

As part of the celebrations, we plan to set up the hall with cultural stations representing some of
the cultures in our school. This will run in the afternoon from 1:30pm until 3:30pm. For this, we
need your support. If you are willing to help with the event, whether it is providing materials, ideas, or coming to run a station, or have any other questions please contact
Bronwyn van Mechgelen: bronwyn@emmanuelchristian.school.nz or
Christine Liu: christine@emmanuelchristian.school.nz
