Last Monday 30th October, the school celebrated International Day from 11:00 onwards in the Main Hall, Gym, Cafeteria, and Library. Students enjoyed food from around the world. In the Main Hall we had Europe, in the Gym we had Africa, in the Cafeteria we had North and South America, and in the Library we had Asia and Middle East. We also had performances and activities.

International Day is a day to celebrate different countries and their traditions as well as celebrate each student’s appreciation for learning. We had a look at the global culture and how it connects to the learning conducted in class. In the beginning of the term, new students from different cultures came and showed their different cultural backgrounds, on International Day everyone had a chance to reflect upon this experience and celebrate this school’s diversity.

Students showed their understanding of different cultures and traditions through performing and presenting their knowledge on inquiry based questions about different continents around the world.

We hope you had a very Happy International Day!
