Celebrating Unity: Beelong Festival at Chorlton High

At Chorlton High, our strength lies in our vibrant Community of Belonging. Each year, our special Beelong Festival uniquely celebrates the rich tapestry of cultures and talents within our school. It's an opportunity for all to connect, share, and experience the joy of our collective identity.

Diversity in Full Bloom at Beelong

The Beelong Festival is more than just an event; it's an immersive experience designed to showcase the incredible diversity that makes our school community so special. This inclusive celebration featured a variety of interactive stations where attendees enjoyed dazzling henna, captivating dance performances, lively music, artistic face painting, and unique jewellery crafting. Alongside more activities, migration stories came alive with outfit displays from the Moss Side Carnival, via a student podcast listen station , a range of delicious food and refreshing drinks, thanks to our brilliant catering team, added to the festive ambiance.

The evening's highlight was undoubtedly the fashion show. This magnificent display saw our students proudly walk in traditional dress representing their diverse heritage. The event underscores our ethos, particularly our dedication to nurturing Creative and Happy individuals, fostering an environment where every student's background is celebrated and contributes to the richness of our shared experience.
