Culture Week

Here at Handsworth Grammar School, we have been busy celebrating Culture Week, a joint curriculum and enrichment event to celebrate the history and diversity of our community. Pupils have had the chance to see Bhangra performances accompanied by Dhol, take part in cultural quizzes, participate in a Chinese dragon dance workshop, experience ancient Egypt and Rome through virtual reality and lots more.  Meanwhile lunchtimes have seen our students tucking into a range of dishes such as fajitas, bao buns, chow mein and chicken tagine. In their lessons, our younger students have focused on such diverse topics as Irish traditional music, how writers reflect cultural awareness in their stories, the contribution of different cultures to scientific knowledge and much more.  The week will end on Friday with a cultural dress day and fashion show. We are really looking forward to rolling out the HGS red carpet!
