Program fosters cultural connections
Students came together for a morning of baking, team building activities, and making new friends.
Kids Breaking Bread hosted their second event on May 29, bringing together primary school students from Emanuel School and Kincoppal Rose Bay School of the Sacred Heart (KRB) in a heartwarming initiative designed to foster friendship and cultural connections.
Students in years three and four from both schools came together at KRB for a morning of baking, team building activities, and making new friends.
The initiative began with a simple but meaningful conversation between four parents and friends – Anna Solomon, Amanda Morris, Louise Israelstam, and Phoebe Malouf – who shared a vision of creating stronger ties between communities through their children.
“By baking and sharing bread, the children are actively learning and embracing the similarities in our different cultures, building positive foundations for the community,” Morris said.
Head of Primary at Emanuel School, Natanya Milner, said “We are thrilled to be able to deepen and strengthen our connection through this beautiful collaboration”.
KRB Head Principal Erica Thomas said that for all participants, “experiences like these are incredibly important in breaking down barriers early and nurturing empathy and respect”.
Wentworth MP Allegra Spender attended, and spoke to students, urging them to share the pride and joy of each school, and take the opportunity to learn from each other.
“Too often we can end up locked in our own silos,” Spender said.
“Kids Breaking Bread is an opportunity to build bridges between our schools… and build a stronger, more cohesive community where we all belong.”
