UNITE Week at Thomas Hassall Anglican College is a vibrant celebration of the rich cultural diversity that defines our community.
Scheduled for Week 9 of this term, the campus will once again come alive with national flags adorning the boulevard, symbolising the multitude of heritages represented within our student body. This week-long event is more than just a festivity; it embodies our commitment to fostering unity, understanding, and respect among all members of the College.
Our Student Voice representatives have been working hard to help plan and coordinate various activities that will occur throughout this week, designed to showcase and honour our different cultures. From international sports competitions to cultural food stalls, these events provide opportunities for students to share their backgrounds and learn about others. A highlight of the week is the Cultural Dress Day, where students are encouraged to wear traditional attire, celebrating their heritage and promoting inclusivity. This culminates in the Harmony Day Assembly, featuring presentations and performances that reflect the diverse tapestry of our College community.
The significance of UNITE Week extends beyond the festivities. It serves as a platform for meaningful conversations and reflections on identity, belonging, and unity. As our College Chaplain, Reverend Denis Oliver, has aptly noted in the past, the diversity celebrated during UNITE Week mirrors the vision of a harmonious and inclusive community, where every individual is valued and embraced.
UNITE Week is a testament to the College's dedication to creating an environment where every student feels seen, heard, and appreciated. By celebrating our differences and finding common ground, we strengthen the bonds that unite us as a community. We look forward to a week filled with learning, celebration, and the reaffirmation of our shared commitment to unity and diversity.
