GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS

This PRIDE month, did you know that:

• A pink triangle was used as a symbol of shame by the Nazis in concentration camps. The lavender triangle was used to identify lesbians in concentration camps. Both coloured triangles are now used as a symbol of pride by the LGBTQ+ rights movement. 

Congratulations to all the students who performed in the performing arts showcase last night. It was a great show!

Stelly’s clothing orders are available for pickup in room 19
