Small Acts, Big Impact 💙

Students enjoyed a fun and engaging lunchtime today as part of our Bullying No Way activities.

With live music from our staff band, there was a Salvation Army stall with popcorn and fairy floss, the Headspace team had activities and resources, our Wellbeing team had a stall with activities, there were giant games and plenty of opportunities to connect, have fun and show kindness to others.

Today's activities highlighted how small acts of inclusion, respect and support can make a big impact in creating a safe and welcoming school community for everyone.

We are proud to showcase this stunning textile artwork by Sophie, one of our talented year 11 students.

Inspired by the work of contemporary Australian artist Kate Just, whose textile practice explores social activism and meaningful messages, Sophie has created a powerful piece celebrating neurodiversity and self-acceptance.

In Sophie's own words, the artwork is about "embracing neurodiversity and who I am and raising awareness that autism is not a disability, it's a different ability."

Through thoughtful design and skilled textile techniques, Sophie has created an artwork that not only demonstrates artistic excellence but also encourages understanding, inclusion, and appreciation of diverse ways of thinking and experiencing the world.
