This year\u2019s Multicultural Day was a lively celebration of Fortians\u2019 many cultures, nationalities, and languages.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday 16th August, students wore cultural dress (or a sports jersey) to represent their cultural heritage – and they looked amazing! Thanks to all the parents who kept their children\u2019s cultural dress and encouraged them to wear it.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the Multicultural Day assembly, two student groups performed a K-Pop routine and a South Asian performance, while others participated in an Olympic opening ceremony-inspired parade of flags, ranging from Mauritius to Ireland to the Australian Aboriginal Flag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The SRC also presented the results of a survey conducted to hear about Fortians\u2019 cultures, languages, nationalities, and their thoughts on multiculturalism at Fort Street. A clear majority agreed they felt included at Fort Street, and that it was accepting of all cultures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students and staff were clapping and cheering so loud throughout the assembly that few words could cut through the noise, but the message – celebrating multiculturalism – was heard loud and clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

At lunch, 17 student-run stalls sold food and drinks from around the world – everything from Chinese dumplings to German pastries and Egyptian guava nectar. Shout out to the Year 8 SRC\u2019s amazing Chinese food and the SRC\u2019s world map stall, where students could place a diamante on a place they associate with their culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to the school executive and teachers who facilitated all the stalls on the day, and the office staff who purchased more flags than the school has ever seen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks also to Dante and Charlie who planned this amazing event – this SRC Executive\u2019s last event! Multicultural Day never fails to make us proud of our cultures, and proud to be part of such a diverse and welcoming school.<\/span><\/p>\n

P.S. Below are some of the statistics the SRC gathered (of the 170 Fortians surveyed) for anyone who\u2019s curious!<\/span><\/p>\n\n
