The month was filled with meaningful events and activities, all aimed at deepening our understanding of Black culture and history while empowering students to share diverse perspectives.
Joint talk: Islamic Influences in African and Caribbean Culture
A highlight of the month was a thought-provoking talk hosted by the African-Caribbean Society (ACS) and Islamic Society. This collaborative event explored the profound and often overlooked Islamic influences in African and Caribbean culture, sparking engaging discussions among students and staff alike.
Pupil Led Assemblies
Throughout the month, ACS members Panashe, Ayanna and Malaika delivered inspiring assemblies across KES and KEHS.
Their engaging presentations brought the theme of “Reclaiming the Narrative” to life, offering fresh perspectives and encouraging the school community to reflect on the importance of representation and storytelling in shaping history.
