Cultural Calendar

It is important to us that throughout the year we celebrate significant dates in calendars from all cultures and faiths. We have also worked hard to ensure that national and international awareness dates are observed at the Academy.

We have created this cultural calendar to help us with planning assemblies and student activities. This is a constant work in progress, and we are always looking at new dates and celebrations to add.
