Smells like School Spirit:
Queer students’ experiences of in/exclusion

venue: gallery
date: Sat, 26 April
time: 4:30pm-4:50pm

Schools are supposed to be places of equity and inclusion—but for many queer students (and educators) in Singapore, the reality is far from it. At Pink Dot 2024, the Queer Friendly Chers booth stood intentionally unmanned—its members choosing invisibility for safety. Instead, visitors filled the space with their voices, writing down their thoughts on queer inclusion (or lack thereof) in schools. This presentation unpacks these anonymous contributions, shedding light on the everyday experiences of queer students, educators, and advocates. What’s working? What’s failing? And where do we go from here? Attendees will not only gain insight into current support systems but will also be invited to deliberate on potential reforms to ensure a more equitable and inclusive future for all students.
