Denefield Culture Day Showcase
This week, we held our annual Culture Day, a wonderful celebration of diversity and community at Denefield. The day was full of colour, music and flavour, with students and staff showcasing traditions, food and customs from around the world.
At lunchtime, our canteen, managed by Harrison catering, offered dishes from around the world, including food from Italy, Indonesia, China, Belgium, America and India. This gave students the chance to enjoy new tastes and experience global cuisine right here at school.
During the tutor time after lunch, students and staff took part in a fashion show, proudly showcasing clothing from their cultures and sharing the meaning behind their outfits. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the diversity within our school community. To watch the fashion show on Instagram, please click on the button below.
The celebrations continued into the evening with the Culture Day Showcase in the canteen, which was open to the public. Families, friends and members of the community joined us, and the event was buzzing with activity from start to finish.
Stalls represented the United Kingdom, Jamaica, South Africa, Kenya, Thailand, China, Nigeria, Poland, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Germany, Greece, Turkey, Italy, India, Ireland, Romania, England, Yorkshire, Malaysia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Spain, Sweden, Wales, St Helena, Brazil, Barbados, Benin, Ukraine and Tanzania.
Each stall had something unique to offer — from food and traditional items to interactive activities such as crochet, face painting, henna, motor sports, cultural games, flags and trains. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, reflecting the creativity, pride and generosity of our community.
This Culture Day was a wonderful way to start the year, bringing our school and wider community together in celebration. We look forward to building on this energy as the year continues.
