KIS Recognises World Down Syndrome Day

Kabojja International School joins the global community in recognising World Down Syndrome Day, marked annually on 21st March. This important day, first observed in 2007 and formally recognised by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012, symbolises the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome that causes Down syndrome.

At Kabojja International School, inclusion is not simply a value we uphold. It is a practice embedded within our everyday learning environment. Through our Learning Support Unit, we are committed to ensuring that every learner is supported, empowered and given the opportunity to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

In commemoration of World Down Syndrome Day, the school will be undertaking a series of activities and initiatives throughout the week aimed at raising awareness, promoting understanding and celebrating the diversity that enriches our community. These engagements reflect our continued commitment to nurturing a culture of empathy, respect and belonging among our learners.

As a school, we remain steadfast in our belief that diversity strengthens our community, and we are proud to champion inclusive education as a cornerstone of the Kabojja experience.
