As part of our series on different faith assemblies, this week Miss Sandilands and Year 13 student Prisha G delivered an assembly to Year 8 students all about Diwali, the Festival of Lights!

Pupils learnt about the importance of Diwali in Hinduism and Sikhism, exploring the traditions, celebrations and the message of good overcoming evil.

Prisha also shared her own experiences and Miss Sandilands shared her family photos, giving students a personal insight into how Diwali is celebrated.

The assembly was a great opportunity to celebrate cultural diversity and learn more about different faiths and traditions. Following this a write up and poster was produced to spread greater awareness about Diwali as a festival.
