Macleans College’s multiculturalism showcased at annual Flag Pageant

During the school assembly, both students and teachers proudly represented their cultural identities, coming together to celebrate the school's rich multiculturalism through a captivating flag parade, reminiscent of the grandeur seen at the Commonwealth Games' opening ceremony.

Organised by Ms Tuialii and supported by Mrs Hoshino and ICC Executives Shafquat Tabeeb (Mansfield House), Lily Kim (Mansfield), Allan Han (Batten), Cecilia Ma (Mansfield), Leo Mamedov (Kupe), the school witnessed an astonishing display of over 65 flags from different nations, emphasising the diverse and inclusive community within the school.

As the flag pageant drew to a close, a moment of unity was created when the Macleans College, Māori, and Aotearoa / New Zealand flags were hoisted, and all students and staff stood together, singing the National anthem. This touching moment symbolised the unification of the entire school community under the banner of these flags, fostering a sense of togetherness and pride in our collective heritage.
