Pride Week
Crescent Celebrates Pride Week
May 20–23, 2025
This year’s Pride Week theme is Be a Hero. This theme emphasizes the importance of putting others before oneself, uplifting those around us, and championing inclusivity for all.
Learn more about the planned activities here.
Age-appropriate activities are planned during Home Form and Mentor Group when students can reflect upon what it means to be a hero:
- H – Help others selflessly (True heroes put others before themselves.)
- E – Empower those in need (Heroes uplift and inspire people around them.)
- R – Resilience in adversity (Heroes push through challenges and keep going.)
- O – Open hearts and minds (Heroes foster kindness, inclusivity, and change.)
A full-school assembly will reinforce the theme with a special dance performance by the Prefect team.
Both libraries will display a collection of theme-appropriate books. There will be an author visit in the Lower School by current Crescent parent Christina Sorbara who will read her children’s book, Growing In Mamma's Tummy and In Mommy's Heart, about a lesbian couple's journey to parenthood.

The display screens throughout the school will feature Crescent’s Pride flag with this year’s theme and all staff and students will receive Pride pins.
On Friday, May 23, students and staff are invited to wear coloured t-shirts to represent a rainbow and the school’s Pride flag will be raised. It will remain up through the month of June to acknowledge Pride Month.
