Borrisokane Community College students took part in a Colour Day to mark the end of Stand Up week showing support for the LGBTi Community.
Belong To’s Stand Up Awareness Week took place last week November 14th-18th. This is a time for schools to take a stand against homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying.
This week Borrisokane CC had the opportunity to take steps to make spaces safe and supportive for LGBTQ+ young people. Their aim is to promote a supportive environment to our LGBTI+ School Community and together they can create spaces where LGBTQ+ young people feel safe, equal, and valued.
They organised many activities throughout the week to raise awareness. They had a rainbow bake off where students had the opportunity to show off their baking skills.
Students also created fantastic posters and poems, and these were displayed in the school.
On Friday, staff and students wore colour to represent their year so the whole school made up the LGBTI+ rainbow flag.
Well done to all involved and many thanks to students and staff for making a huge effort this week.
