 This year, Lealands High School celebrated Black History Month through a variety of events including assemblies, a cake sale, a cultural dress day and a (forthcoming) African/Caribbean inspired lunch.

The events aimed to show that anyone from any race and/or culture has probably engaged or are currently engaging in the ‘everyday’ aspects of Black History which can often be overlooked. This might be the music we listen to, the food we eat, our access to education, and the ethnically diverse friendships and relationships we may have.

 All the money raised from the events will go to the Luton Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Care Forum, a charity that works specifically with young people and parents in Luton who suffer from Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Nadine Scarlett, Rudo Makoni and Irene Madzimure in Year 11, and also to Mrs Selby, Mr Payne, Mr Ward, Mr Burridge, the canteen staff, and to the rest of the staff members and students who supported the events and made everything possible.

Thank you, Miss Masawi.
