Pride Week

Celebrating Pride in every school - Whakanuia te uenuku ki ia kura.

Green Bay High School recognises and supports each student’s sense of belonging. This week marked the first nationwide Schools'Pride Week campaign with a range of activities throughout the week. It is a celebratory week of events and activities to support rainbow youth.

Schools' Pride Week is created by InsideOUT, a national organisation that works with youth, whānau, schools and communities to make Aotearoa a safer place for rainbow youth. By celebrating and affirming rainbow identities through the schools Pride Week campaign we can help reduce the experiences of bullying and distress for our rainbow rangatahi.

Schools Pride Week aims to:

• Celebrate rainbow staff and students in our school communities, increasing a sense of belonging
• Support schools to facilitate activities and pride celebrations in their school, through the sharing of resources and information
• Give schools opportunities to incorporate rainbow issues into NCEA standards and subjects, and normalise rainbow identities across the curriculum.
