At North London Collegiate School (Singapore), inclusion is not a one-day initiative — it is a lived value that guides how we learn, interact, and grow together. In a recent feature published by theAsianparent, our Vice Principal for Safeguarding and Inclusion, Sophie Davies, shares her perspective on how Racial Harmony Day presents a vital opportunity for both schools and families to nurture empathy, respect, and kindness in children.
