Champion diversity in all that you do
Times are a-changing .
Gone are the days where differences aren ’ t addressed . Today , we live in a world that celebrates diversity and encourages being proud of where you ’ re from .
Kids in particular are having more curious interactions about their differences . To help facilitate these conversations , it ’ s important to encourage intentional conversation wherever possible .
At Mountain View Adventist College , we focus on celebrating our diverse group of students coming from a range of different backgrounds . On Harmony Day , our students come to school dressed in a cultural outfit for the day . This is the perfect kick-starter for open dialogue on what makes us different .
Carmen Castaneda , member of the Wellbeing Team at Mountain View Adventist College ,
has seen firsthand what prioritising open conversation can do for students .
“ These kids want to understand each other better . They ’ re curious and they constantly cheer each other on – there ’ s no malice in it . By asking questions about their classmates , they ’ re able to be more accepting and respectful of different backgrounds .”
“ We ’ re proud to provide the students with a safe and welcoming environment where they can feel safe to be themselves and ask these kinds of questions .”
