This pillar is championed by Mr. Callum and Mr. Victor, who are guiding us on this meaningful journey.

Imagine a world where everyone was exactly the same—identical in appearance, wearing the same clothes, eating the same meals, and speaking the same language. It wouldn’t take long for things to feel monotonous, right? What makes life vibrant and exciting is our differences. Diversity is simply the recognition of these differences.

At CDL, we take pride in celebrating the rich diversity that defines our community. It’s essential to approach others with tolerance and understanding, especially when their “normal” may differ from our own. By fostering acceptance and showing kindness to one another, we actively create an environment where bullying has no place and everyone feels safe and supported.

Our first step is to open an honest conversation about the perceptions of bullying within our boarding community. Does it occur? And if so, what role can each of us play in supporting one another and building a united, inclusive environment?

Too often, it’s easy to use labels without considering the harm they can cause. Instead, let’s focus on uplifting and encouraging each other, creating a community where everyone feels valued and respected.
