This week, we celebrated the incredible strengths and talents of our neurodivergent learners. It was all about finding the right strategies that support daily life, especially in the classroom, and offering the understanding and support needed to help each individual thrive despite the difficulties faced. Together, we’re empowering all learners to overcome challenges using their unique strengths and to shine in their own unique ways. 

Celebrating Neurodiversity Week: A Vibrant Display of Inclusion, Understanding and Recognising Determination

Neurodiversity Week at St John’s College was a celebration of individuality, acceptance, and understanding. It was an opportunity to highlight the strengths and to recognise the challenges many neurodivergent individuals face and what we all can do to help each other. The week-long event featured assemblies and interactive activities that aimed to educate all about the unique strengths and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals. It was an opportunity to show how everyone can identify and use their strengths to support the many challenges that we all inevitably face at times and to recognise that for someone with a neurodivergent condition, effort and resilience are needed daily.

A Lasting Impact Let's keep embracing diversity, promoting inclusion, and celebrating the unique strengths within our community. We are proud of our school and how kind and inclusive each person is, which helps to ensure that everyone is recognised for their unique value and contribution to this community. 

Thanks to everyone for their attentiveness and support this week.
