Hope in Action: BSG Celebrating the World Children’s Day

On November 20th, our school came together to celebrate the UN World Children’s Day.

The day began early, with a group of staff and students taking part in a 10 km “Walk for Hope” to school. This symbolic walk honoured the many children around the world who travel long distances on foot each day for the chance to receive an education.

Throughout the morning, the entire school community wore blue and formed a “blue river” around campus, walking laps together to show unity and solidarity.

Primary students joined a special “Puzzle of Hope” activity, searching for puzzle pieces that formed the word HOPE, sharing what hope means to them, and discussing SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals. Students also created blue paper wish notes that filled our Hope Tree, supporting UNCRC Article 12, which highlights the importance of children’s voices and views.

During the day students also received seeds to plant their own “Seed of Hope,” learning that hope grows when it is nurtured. They also decorated their own “hero cape,” reminding them that every child has the power to be a hero and create positive change.

We wish every child around the world a joyful World Children’s Day. May the Seed of Hope for a brighter future continue to grow stronger each year.
