With students and faculty from diverse nationalities, our students have the unique opportunity to learn about various cultures and this helps them grow and evolve as global citizens, said, Ms. Shweta Sastri, Managing Director, Canadian International School, Bangalore.
“At CIS we have always celebrated different cultures and festivals, showcasing it as a true multicultural school. It was our privilege to continue the tradition at CIS, and organise Onam celebrations today. It looked like a mini Kerala today with teachers and staff dressed up in Onam attire.” said Beena Menon, English Teacher at CIS.
We live in a world of diverse cultures, languages, beliefs, and customs and we have to respect all of them. Taking part in these activities and learning to respect cultures in a school environment helps students appreciate the richness and diversity of people who are different. The old saying, ‘Unity in Diversity’ was once again proven today during the celebration.
