International Day 2014

International Day was celebrated on the 13th of June this year.  It was indeed an exciting, colourful, rhythmic and tasty cultural event!

Changing the venue from classrooms to the school field brought about a wonderfully unified and jovial feeling.

Parents got to hear their children sing in different languages; friends got to choreograph and perform fun dances together; and everyone had a chance to model clothes and share delicious food from their home countries.

E.I.S. is truly proud of this tradition and thanks its families for giving life to this festive day.
