Before half term, our Student Council hosted 'Culture Day' for students and staff in the lecture theatre! 

The Student Council this year, plans to enhance diversity and equality throughout all aspects of college. From their plan, they decided to host Culture Day. The idea came from the Council's Equality and Diversity Officer, Zedan. The aim was for students to celebrate their differences and the wide range of cultures that we have in college. 

Throughout the event, there was a range of activities offered such as, henna, bracelet making and face painting. Students also participated in a fashion show, providing a demonstration of folk costumes and traditional dances. A lot of students wore their culture's traditional clothing to demonstrate different cultures. There was also a range of foods from various countries and cultures! 

All in all, the event had a huge turn out. Both students and staff had a incredible afternoon and the Student Council did a great job of preparing and executing the event!

Student Council President, Claudia said:

The Student Council is very pleased with all the great feedback received so far. We are very grateful as well for all the students that helped to prepare and decorate the room next to the Student Council. Finally, a big thank you to all the amazing people that showed up. 

Centre Principal, Lisa Richards said:

The half term is ending on a high note following the Culture Day organised this week by the Student Council. Many of our staff have reported feeling "quite emotional" on seeing the Lecture Theatre decorated with flags and emblems representing our students' varied heritage, and the students themselves looked fabulous in their cultural clothing. I am so proud of the college's diversity and the respect our students show to each other. Well done to our student council on a lovely event!
