Visit any Jewish school and you will expect to find calendars packed with important dates and holy festivals, from Rosh Hashanah to Shavuot.

But Ramadan is unlikely to feature on the roster.

This year, however, JCoSS decided to change that and put together a two-week interfaith programme to coincide with the Muslim festival - all of which took place inside a "multifaith tent".

More than 500 students across Years Seven to Nine took part in the fortnight of activities, which included storytelling, creative writing sessions, painting, and visits from interfaith educators.
