Once a week, students from Grade 1 to Grade 8 meet to discuss Black Excellence and Allyship. The Black Excellence Club is a vibrant and empowering community that celebrates the achievements, culture, and history of Black students. Through discussions, events, and initiatives, the club creates a space where members can share their experiences, learn about Black history, and support one another in achieving their academic and personal goals. The club aims to foster pride, unity, and excellence, encouraging students to embrace their heritage while striving for success in all aspects of life. Whether it’s leading monthly assemblies, presenting at staff meetings, or working towards dismantling and disrupting racism in our school, the Black Excellence Club is dedicated to making a lasting impact both within the school and beyond.
