We have children from Korea, China, Japan, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Serbia, Italy, Spain, France, the UK Iran, Iraq, the USA, Canada, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Ukraine, Russia, Tonga, Samoa, South Africa, Egypt… you name it.

At Milford School, we appreciate cultural diversity and are aware that the culture we grow up with, teaches us the appropriate behaviour for certain situations and enables us to interpret the behaviour of others who came from another cultural background. We have a group of Year 6 students who attend Multicultural Club every Tuesday lunchtime where they learn about other countries and from this year are learning how ho prepare food from the other parts of the world.

The Drumming Show

There was a drumming show at our school on Tuesday. It was in the hall. All the children went to see it. A very talented musicisn, called Dylan played the drums for us. He used drum sticks, a cow bell, brush sticks, cymbals and a prickle drum. It was very loud and he played nice songs. There was a big screen where we could see his hands and feet in action. It was awesome.
