Mix
it Up at Lunch - November 10th
On November 10th
we will
MIX IT UP at
LUNCH
What is Mix It UP at
Lunch?
On November 10th, we will
encourage our students to join hundreds of
thousands of students around the country and stir
things up in the school cafeteria. The event
encourages students to identify, challenge &
cross the social boundaries that divide schools
& communities.
As at many schools, the cafeteria at
lunchtime is a social map of our whole school. A
map criss-crossed with boundaries. These
boundaries can create divisions and
misunderstanding in schools and can lead to
bullying, harassment and violence. But by working
to cross the barriers students can help create an
environment that is characterized by less conflict
and instead by more tolerance.
Please encourage your
children to see what happens if they mix
it up at lunch and swap seats in the cafeteria,
step out of their comfort zone and sit somewhere
new, with someone
new. |
