Neurodiversity Week
From March 16 to 20, our school proudly recognised Neurodiversity Celebration Week, a global initiative that challenges stereotypes and celebrates neurodivergent strengths.
Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in how people think, learn, and process information. This includes students who may identify with conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences. Rather than viewing these differences as deficits, neurodiversity encourages us to recognise them as part of human diversity.
The Inclusion Team organised initiatives to raise neurodiversity awareness, including a student presentation, a celebration lunch, and a professional learning session on supporting Autistic students.
Lots of students volunteered to help out on the day. Congratulations to Tom (sunflower badge), Mia (infinity and umbrella badges), Jaydee (flower badge), Amy (“we all think differently” poster), Alyse, Quynh, and Manjot (watercolour designs), and Craft Club (banner) for their outstanding artwork for the banners, badges, and stickers. And a big thank you to Emily, Sumaiya, and Sonya for helping out with the pack up!
Congratulations to Ellen Tran and Chrystal Ngo-Le for accurately guessing the weight (guess 1.33kg, answer 1.4kg) and number of lollies (guess 113, answer 118) in the Lolly Jar competition.
As a school, we remain committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. For further information about the celebration week, please access the following links:
Thank you again to the students and staff who celebrated the week with us.
