News Culture Day ’26 “Wonderful” 09.11.2026

Collyer’s recently celebrated Culture Day, a student led event consisting of games, a fashion show, a talent show, and so much more!

Collyer’s Black Student Society worked diligently to make this day happen, spending breaktime and lunchtimes, organising and promoting the event, working alongside the Richard Collyer Union (RCU), and a group of tutor representatives who volunteered to get involved.

It was at breaktime in the cafe where the energy and anticipation began, with a thrilling game of musical chairs. Alongside this, the Café was lined with a Henna station, a face painting and tattoo table (not permanent of course!) This allowed students to be proud of their culture and confidently showcase their ethnic backgrounds.

The flag parade comprised students in groups, or solo, triumphantly waving the flag or their culture, to a song of their choice which resonated with them. It was particularly superb to see students wearing clothes that embody their culture, physically presenting how wonderful it is to have such a beautifully diverse community at Collyer’s.

The talent show enabled some courageous students to step forward and showcase their incredible skills with such a wide variety of acts including singing and dancing. A packed audience enjoyed the incredible show, with some even watching down through the windows of the classrooms above our sports hall!

At Collyer’s, we are proud to be a college of diversity and inclusion!
