The SKY Academy has been proudly celebrating Black History Month under the inspiring theme of ‘Standing firm in power and pride.’
Throughout the month, students across the school have come together to mark this important event by signing a collective pledge to stand united against racism and discrimination in all its forms.
In the Upper School, students have been learning about the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and, inspired by his message, have written and performed their own ‘I Have a Dream’ speeches.
As part of our ‘Drop Everything and Read’ initiative, students have also been reading “Boys Don’t Cry” by Malorie Blackman, a powerful novel following the Bridgeman family as their lives are transformed by the arrival of an unexpected baby.
In addition, students have been collaborating creatively to produce a collective piece of artwork that reflects the themes of unity, strength, and equality explored throughout the month.
Charlie Ennals, Careers and Personal Development Lead, said: “Black History Month is a vital opportunity for our students to learn, reflect, and celebrate the incredible contributions of Black individuals throughout history.
“Our theme this year, ‘Standing firm in power and pride’ encourages every student to embrace their identity, challenge injustice, and take pride in the diversity that strengthens our school community.”
