Islam and cultural belongingness was celebrated during Unity Week this week.

To observe unity week, on 15 March, Christchurch Girls' High School / Te Kura o Hine Waiora librarians displayed books that represented Islam and cultural belongingness. Our fabulous librarians made a beautiful poster and spread love and empathy throughout the library. They are going to display Muslim writers’ books at the end of this term.
