Intercultural Week 2023

Intercultural week ran from Monday the 4th – Friday 8th of December 2023 in ACETNS.

It was a great week full of interesting opportunities to share all of the fabulous, vibrant cultures represented in our school community – Well done everyone!

Each class were assigned a country to learn about.

Thanks to the Yellow Flag Committee for assigning countries to each class.

Each class explored traditions, symbols, celebrations, famous people, landmarks, history, geography and the arts in their given country. Parents were invited to speak, children were encouraged to get books from the library, teachers decorated their classes with their pupils and projects were created (in school and at home) by children exploring their classes assigned country.

Here is an overview of the week:
