At Sacred Heart College, we are a Respectful Relationships school, meaning that we stand for inclusion as a core value and acknowledge the gift diversity gives us, overall we want to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable at school.

Last Monday was IDAHOBIT day, the international day against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination. We are reminded that it is up to everyone to take a stand against discrimination when we see it and hear it and to support our LGBTQIA+ friends.

On Friday the 21st of May at lunchtime our Free To Be Me diversity group raised awareness as part of IDAHOBIT Day by running lots of fun activities with a rainbow theme and having lots of important conversations with the SHC community. There was beading, badge making, and giant colouring in as well as music. There was also a selfie board where our community was invited to take a photo with a statement of support for our LGBTQIA+ students. It was fabulous to see so many students and staff get involved and support this important initiative.
