Power Day 3 - Multicultural Festival
Miss Williams sent this report:
On Friday, 30 June the whole of Invicta was off timetable for our final Power Day of the year, the Multicultural Festival. This event was a joyous celebration of the diversity of our school and involved over 300 students running various events. Students rotated through a variety of activities and events throughout the day, all of which had an opportunity to learn about different cultures.
There was a session of talks, where students watched video presentations from students about their culture and heritage, including on Brazil, Bulgaria, Ghana and Nigeria. We also had a video talk from one of the charities we have supported throughout the year, KRAN (Kent Refugee Action Network). Students also took part in some sports activities on the MUGA, including relay races and the hula hoop challenge.
Outside on the Izatt plaza student volunteers ran a number of stalls, these had flags and information about different countries and students bought in an array of delicious food samples for everyone to try.
In the Hall we had two performances, firstly the Dance Show. Students had choreographed and rehearsed routines in a variety of styles; Bollywood, Afrobeats, Nepali and KPop. The performances were phenomenal and a real credit to the effort that students had put into the show. Next up was the Fashion Show, in which two hundred students showed off the beautiful outfits that they had chosen to wear for the day. The crowd for both of these performances were really supportive of their peers, cheering and clapping throughout, which the participants really appreciated.
Overall, it was a wonderful day, many thanks to Miss Day and Mrs Uzochuckwu for all of their hard work in the planning and running of the day and a particular thanks to all of the students who contributed.
