Wondering how people around the world wish each other happy holidays? Brockton students have you covered!
As an IB World School, Brockton’s community is diverse. Our families come from across the globe, providing different experiences and perspectives. And we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Our students get the opportunity every day to learn from each other, and share aspects of their unique cultures and backgrounds. The student leaders in our Community Action Team for Arts and Culture (CAT-AC) celebrate our cultural diversity with events throughout the year, and opportunities for students to highlight their own cultures and traditions with presentations and community art pieces. It’s awesome to see our kids learn from each other and develop wider perspectives as they learn about other points of view.
In the spirit of the holidays, we want to share some of the cultures that we have here at Brockton. There are many festivities across the globe at this time of year, so here are some of the ways our community expresses holiday well-wishes – we hope you find the opportunity to use them!
