On the evening of May 28, 2025, schools and community partners came together to host the North Perth Cultural Unity Festival at Listowel District Secondary School. The event aimed to celebrate the rich diversity of our community by showcasing various aspects of different cultures.
Students from North Perth area schools (North Perth Westfield ES, Listowel District SS, Listowel Eastdale PS, and Elma Township PS) planned a variety of interactive cultural booths that featured games, crafts, music, clothing, sports, and dancing. A few examples included: henna applications, hijab demonstrations and origami activities.
This event provided a wonderful opportunity for students and staff to share and highlight the unique traditions, practices, and talents that make their culture special. Over 350 participants enjoyed the event, learned something new and embraced what makes North Perth unique.
