St Augustine’s RC High School in Edinburgh recently hosted an inspiring Culture Day, which celebrated the rich diversity and talent within its student body of those aged between 12 and 18.
The event showcased the vibrant tapestry of the numerous cultural backgrounds of the students through dance, performance, music, language and artistic expression. The day was a testament to the transformative power of cultural events in nurturing creativity, fostering inclusivity and promoting mental wellbeing among young people.
The school’s Culture Day mirrors the spirit of the iconic Edinburgh Festival and Fringe Festival, renowned for celebrating artistry, performance and diversity. These global events place Edinburgh on the cultural map, and St Augustine’s Culture Day demonstrates how similar opportunities can be cultivated within schools.
