Schools can choose to get involved by registering with InsideOUT K\u00f5aro. Registering ensures access to resources, events, competitions, activity ideas, merchandise and other support.<\/p>\n

Schools\u2019 Pride Week is about celebrating and affirming rainbow students, as well as highlighting values such as inclusion, diversity and acceptance. Students do not need to be part of the rainbow community to get involved in Pride Week – non-rainbow students may wish to support their rainbow peers by helping out with events, or they may just wish to learn more about rainbow communities.<\/p>\n

Schools Pride Week Aotearoa is a campaign that schools can choose to be involved with – it is not compulsory for schools to take part. Schools might like to celebrate the week with small events such as shared lunches in their Rainbow Diversity Groups, or bigger school-wide celebrations such as non-uniform days.<\/p>\n

The curriculum won\u2019t be changing during this week. Just like any other week of the year, schools have autonomy over the subjects and content they deliver. Whilst Schools Pride Week might be a great opportunity to highlight rainbow history in Aotearoa or celebrate diversity through literature, classes go ahead as usual and teachers will continue to choose the content of their lessons.<\/p>\n
