During break, students enjoyed a sweet sale, with all profits going to Dougie Mac Hospice. Dougie Mac provides invaluable care and support to people facing life-limiting illnesses across our community, and we’re proud to be contributing to their work through this celebration.

The celebration included a beautiful display of paper lanterns symbolising the lights that helped guide Rama and Sita home in the Diwali story. At break and lunch, students also had the chance to visit a popular henna stall, adding a creative touch to the festivities.

As part of the celebration, our RE Leaders led special lessons for KS3 students, sharing the story of Rama and Sita and how families light up their homes at Diwali to symbolise hope and keep away evil spirits.

Thanks to our RE Leaders, the day was a fantastic blend of learning, creativity, and community spirit, raising funds for a great cause while embracing the diversity that makes our academy unique!
