IDAHOBIT Day 2024
By Ms Dewar, Ms Rusiniak and Miss Marshall
It may have rained on the day but there were plenty of rainbows and smiles on the faces of our students who came to celebrate IDAHOBIT Day with lunchtime activities in the Learning Resource Centre. Internationally celebrated on May 17th every year, IDAHOBIT Day aims to raise awareness of inclusion and standing out against LGBTQIA+ discrimination. Students made their own badges using the Newcomb Secondary College badge maker with Ms Rusiniak and Ms Dewar or used the big badgemaking equipment with Ms Naomi Ford from Newcomb Library who made a special visit! Other students made bookmarks with Ms Allinson, Ms Davis and Miss Marshall and enjoyed the festival feeling. Students heartily enjoyed the colourful fairy bread and bowls of rainbow lollies too! We are a welcoming school and celebrate diversity in our midst every day!
