Completion of a thoughtful Multicultural Festival 2016: “DHW” Diversity in Hip Wo
Anticipation builds and the excitement grows as our Multicultural Festival time gets closer and closer. Yet another spectacular, amazing and energizing Multicultural Festival themed DHW took place between 5th and 9th December. Without a doubt, this is the most favorite event in our school calendar. The school glows with the smiles and energy of the students and teachers. The song I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony) can be heard throughout the school. Diversity in Hip Wo (DHW) was used as the theme this year to celebrate differences and how beauty conception of mosaic leads to “respect”, “acceptance” and “appreciation” of differences in everything in this world and this community. This was achieved through lyrics appreciation and guiding our students to use their individual cultural responsiveness to share their thoughts.
Since 2003, we have initiated the Multicultural Education Curriculum to serve as one of the key learning areas aiming at establishing an environment of ‘Harmony with Diversity’ for all our students. We treasure the uniqueness of our ‘Ethnic-Rich’ background and tradition and we are to nurture students’ appropriate values and attitudes for living in this ‘Global Village’. Our unique multi-racial environment allows us to put extra effort in guiding our students learn to be a modern civic citizen of a world of ‘Harmony with diversity’.
Quoting from John Lennon’s Imagine lyrics, “Living for Today”, “Living Life in Peace” and “Sharing all the world”, our students were given a platform to reflect on how they would apply their cultural responsiveness and embed our Multicultural Values in the array of activities such as DHW Lyrics Appreciation, DHW Cultural Visits, DHW Foodgeball, DHW Dress Day, DHW Gastronomy Fair and DHW Variety Show. Not to forget, during the week, the school was filled with the festive ambience, exhilarating participation by all stakeholders, pulsating music and more. So stay tuned for Multicultural Festival 2017!
