We Are WGS Day

On Wednesday 20th March, we hosted our inaugural We Are WGS Day, which was a culmination of our EDI celebrations, and what a joyous day it was - a jam-packed day of activities that celebrated the many cultures and identities that make up our student and staff body. 

Students were invited to express themselves through fashion and came to school in clothes reflecting their culture or interests. A school-wide fashion show in Big School saw students and staff take to the catwalk to showcase outfits from stunning sarees to karategi and everything in between, the outfits were a vibrant reflection of our WGS community. 

At lunch time, there was a chance to taste foods from all over the world, learn to tie a turban, take part in mehndi and face painting or dance along to some dhol drumming. With some geek culture, a USA and Cornish corner and storytelling from around the world over tea, spirits were high and everyone had a fantastic time. 

Later that afternoon there was zentangle art and an African drumming workshop in the Hutton, plus break dancing, kabaddi and inclusive volleyball in the Sports Hall. The Sixth Form Common Room was taken over by DJ Nick Singh and students learnt the art of Bhangra dancing. A huge thank you to Mr Wood, Mrs Keeley, Mrs Worsey and Miss Grew for masterminding the day which was a true celebration of what makes WGS such a special place.
