Sports Day celebrates school and Olympic values

We view our annual Mulberry Stepney Green Sports Day as similar to the Olympic opening ceremony, sparking enthusiasm for the following two weeks of inter-house sporting competitions. This year’s hugely successful gathering – on Thursday 13th June – was no exception, with students from Years 7 to 10 competing in a whole variety of athletics events. 

These competitions enable students to contribute points for their House in activities they excel at, promoting a sense of inclusion and teamwork. However, like so much of the activity across the Trust, Sports Day also goes beyond competition and we actively encourage students to embody the Olympic and Paralympic values: Excellence, Respect, Friendship, Determination, Inspiration, Courage and Equality. We believe in celebrating personal bests and recognising how each student contributes to the collective effort.

First Year 7 Culture Day a celebratory success

Following a request from the School Council, our Year 7 students recently enjoyed exploring the diversity of the school community during Mulberry Stepney Green’s first ever Culture Day. 

Celebrations – held on Friday 21st June – began with an assembly organised by Cultural Ambassadors from Years 8 and 9, and their teachers. Students learnt about what makes some of our staff and students proud of their heritage, and about some key demographics of our borough community. Students researched some of the cultures that contribute to the rich tapestry of our school as part of a House Competition, and took part in an inter-house cricket competition. Creative culture lessons through the day ranged from a food tech session and making Chinese lanterns in art, to a football-themed music lesson and a Polish games class. 

There was a tangible excitement throughout the day as students embraced the cultural exchange – just as keen to be learning about others’ cultures and the diverse backgrounds of classmates and teachers as they were celebrating their own heritage by proudly wearing cultural dress or the colours of their flags.
