It was a vibrant display of cultures and colors, with participants proudly displaying their heritage by donning traditional costumes and performing their local songs and dances.
“What a lovely way to reinforce the spirit of a community within the school family. Multicultural day was a buzzing hub of fabulously decorated stalls from 13 different countries, vibrantly and proudly displaying their flags with the tastiest and broadest selections of local delicacies. I was amazed by the musical performances of the talented students as well as the rocking band made up of teaching staff. The energy of the day was bright, warm and loving, and the kids with their stuffed bellies did not want it to end.” said Heather, Early Years and Elementary parent.
“I loved trying all the different foods from around the world. It was so nice to be together after 2 years”, said Akanksh, Grade 11 student at CIS.
