International Festival

Our wonderful PTG (Parent-Teacher-Group) organises a 2 day International Festival at school so that all the students can take a trip around the world.


The whole thing starts weeks in advance with the students making flags and doing drawings about their countries, obviously the parents are seriously preparing as well. Then to launch, the students in national dress or colors - or in our case some significant clothing (bok shirts hehehe) parade for the parents and other schools.



Then its down to the visiting, everyone gets to "take a trip" to many of the countries represented at school, taste some food, wear some clothing listen to their music and more. On the last day, parents/families are invited to attend the evening session where there are performances by some countries, henna decorating (by countries that practice this), photos in tradional dress and well just a fun evening together. You'll notice the Korean students who sang and little June (4th grade) did a traditional fan dance for the audience. Their clothing is super comfortable and just so light, we had loads of fun dressing up !


Hope you enjoy some photos from our trip at least part-way around the world !
