šŸ’¬ What does community mean to you?

This yearā€™s Black History Month theme, Honouring Our Communities, gives us an opportunity to recognise the people whose contributions strengthen the places where we live, learn and work.

Communities are shaped by people: the leaders, educators, creatives, families, colleagues, neighbours and role models who make a difference every day.

Throughout October, weā€™ll be celebrating those contributions and encouraging our students and colleagues to learn more about Black history, culture and experiences.
