If one searches for the definition of tolerance in the dictionary, the chances are they'll find something along the lines of this:
"the ability or willingness to tolerate the existence of opinions or behaviour that one dislikes or disagrees with."
However, in Winchester, we believe that tolerance is all about acceptance and is the very first step towards the peaceful, and love filled world we all hope to live in on one day.

The Winchester School Jebel Ali celebrates the International Day of Tolerance, on November 16, through various, creative ways.
Here's what Lowelyn of year 11 had to say about Tolerance, in her own creative approach.
"It's easier said than done
Yet, we tend to make fun
All the hardships I encountered
The misunderstandings
The misinterpretations
Sometimes, I can't give in
But in times of goodwill
I let it pass
I learnt to accept it
I learnt to tolerate
Because I learnt to love
And live in peace and harmony.
Let us pardon our errors
To make this world a little easier to live in. "
