Sept. 26: Sudbury Secondary celebrates diversity with first ever Multicultural Fair

Sudbury Secondary School is kicking off the school year with its first ever Multicultural Fair on Tuesday, September 26, 2023.

The entire school community will gather in the schoolyard and parking lot from 12 pm to 2:15 pm to take part in varied activities including karaoke, face painting, henna art, soccer and basketball games, musical performances and dances.

Students will enjoy a puzzle station generously supported by Future North and the school’s BIPOC Committee, and a fashion show featuring garments from different cultures as well as school spirit wear.

A “Flags from Around the World” colouring contest is currently underway, and bulletin boards will be decorated with flags representing the diverse nationalities of the school population.

For lunch, pizza, tacos and an authentic rice dish will be available for purchase. Students can also sample a variety of fruits and vegetables.

“The Sudbury Secondary School Multicultural Fair is one of the many ways we are creating a learning environment where students feel accepted and respected,” says Principal Heather Downey. “We are working with our local Newcomers Association to plan a memorable event for all and thank them for sharing their expertise.”

She adds: “We look forward to a day of celebrating individuality and diversity, and hope to make this an annual tradition at Sudbury Secondary School.”
