Last week we highlighted IDAHOBIT Day at lunchtime in the Atrium where Free To Be Me students hosted many activities. This day shines a light on the experiences of young LGBTQIA+ people, challenges discrimination, and celebrates pride.

Here at SHC, we are a Respectful Relationships school that promotes a culture of inclusion and diversity where young people can feel safe and accepted. The event served not only as a celebration of identity and pride but also as a powerful reminder of the importance of allyship and standing up against all forms of discrimination. By engaging in creative activities, informative discussions, and personal reflections, students and staff were encouraged to deepen their understanding of the challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals and to commit to being part of a supportive and respectful community.

The energy and enthusiasm displayed during the celebration highlight our school’s ongoing commitment to equality, empathy, and social justice. Events like IDAHOBIT are vital in creating a learning environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued — regardless of their sexuality, gender identity, or background. Together, we continue to foster a school culture where diversity is not just accepted, but truly embraced.
