The centrepiece of this year’s Peace Week was an arrangement of stars that were hung in the Library on Monday in line with MAGS’ theme of ‘We All Sit Under the Same Stars.
This school-wide activity involved Junior form classes decorating a star, given to them by the Counselling team, to represent the diversity in their class whether that be cultural, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, disability, etc.
The decorated stars were then suspended from the steel rafters in the Library. Senior students, mainly art students, created smaller stars to hang with them as well.
Library staff also created a display in the foyer in line with the national Peace Week theme of ‘Celebrating Diversity’.
There were also chalk drawings of Snakes and Ladders in the Caradus Quad throughout the week, and two students – Sonia Airehour and Ryan Shen – as well as TIC Becky Woodall – performed Spoken Word poetry at lunchtime on Wednesday in the Library.
