Stories and highlights

Flag Ceremony

The Airds High School Community celebrated Flag Ceremony, a day that centres around embracing cultures and traditions from around the world. This day was full of performances, both song and dance, from countries all over the world, highlighting how diverse our school community is.

The celebrations consisted of an assembly where community members and guests were invited to attend and join in on the festivities. Some of the highlights of the assembly were the performances from the Aboriginal and Pacifica students. During the assembly, both students and staff represented a different country's flag, which highlighted the true diversity of not only the school community, but the world around us.

The fun did not stop with the Flag Ceremony, as during lunch time, students from different year groups and faculties were involved in selling different cuisines from a range of countries including pasta, fried rice and the classic Aussie sausage sizzle.

Overall, the Flag Ceremony and its celebrations was an amazing day for everyone involved, which once again brought forth an abundance of school spirit and community involvement, and it was great to see students from all year groups immerse themselves in their own culture and the cultures and traditions of their peers and school community.
