Hi Noreen,
Having the experience of working in a multicultural school with such diversity must really help, as you welcome new families and nationalities from time to time. The ‘Intercultural Day’ you have discussed is a wonderful idea, that showcases the welcoming and caring spirit in the school. Giving these children that sense of ownership and belonging within the school must really strengthen the bond between home and school. With the whole-school community involved, ‘local’ children would also get a flavour of other cultures which may help to build and sustain relationships.
