Friendship Week 2022

15th Jun 2022

Our Student Council hosted ‘Friendship Week’ in the school. We wanted everyone to notice the

importance of having friends and its effect in contributing positively to one’s mental health. The

We designed posters and hung them up around the school to let classes know

what activities would be happening. Some activities included ‘Random Acts of Kindness’, creating a

whole school friendship chain, singing songs, playing games in groups, writing positive poems about

others, creating friendship bracelets and different artwork. During the week, we also hosted a

‘Design a Friendship Door’ competition where classes could design their door based around

friendship. Classes really enjoyed working together, promoting kindness and having fun with friends.

We also decided to hold an Odd Sock Day in school. We invited every student, teacher

and staff member to wear odd socks. We wanted to celebrate individuality and how every individual

is unique in their own way, similar to each odd sock. We wanted everyone to notice how special

each person in our school community is and to celebrate and include them through kind gestures.
