YOUNG people came together in Salisbury to celebrate the rich diversity of their school.

South Wilts Grammar School’s (SWGS) Sixth Form came together for the annual Multicultural Day, transforming the school hall into a “joyful showcase of global traditions”.

The programme included singing, dancing, music, food and traditional clothing representing cultures from The Philippines, Fiji, Ukraine, India, Poland, Nepal, Switzerland and many more.

“Students from across the school gathered to watch their friends perform, sharing in an atmosphere filled with pride, unity and appreciation for one another’s heritage,” an SWGS spokesperson said.

“The event also offered a delicious array of international foods, with favourites including chokladbollar, kanelbulle, lumpia (spring rolls), ube cake, aloo Dum, Zopf bread, honeycake, and Lemon Babka, among many other cultural delights.

“The day highlighted not only the diversity within the school community but also the strong sense of belonging and mutual respect that unites the students.”

SWGS thanked everyone who contributed to organising the event, and to the students who came along to support, celebrate, and cheer on their friends and peers.

Keisha Kirby, associate assistant head and EDI lead, said: “Events like this exemplify the inclusive spirit of SWGS and remind us of the value of embracing and learning from each other’s cultures.”
