Muslim sisterhood at St Julie’s!

Here at St Julie’s, we embrace different faiths and encourage dialogue and understanding of other beliefs.

On Friday lunchtime, our new Y7 students who are Muslim gathered in the Chapel to meet Rinad in Y12, who offered them a warm welcome to St Julie’s.

Rinad shared her experiences of being a practising Muslim within a Catholic school, offered reassurance and answered any questions they had about starting at High School.

A number of Y8 Muslim students were also present to offer support and be a friendly face. By the end of lunchtime, there were lots of relaxed smiles and an awareness of the Muslim community within school. As one Y7 commented, “I didn’t know there so many of us!”

Thank you to Rinad for being such a wonderful support and a dynamic young leader!
