The last day of Term 3 concluded on an amazing, colourful note as the AISM community came together to mark and celebrate International Day 2024. The day’s festivities took us on a journey across the globe, highlighting the diversity and richness of our community’s cultural backgrounds. From the striking traditional costumes worn with pride, to the colourful array of flags representing the many nations within our community, it was a day that celebrated and showcased intercultural understanding and connections.
We were honoured to have Ms Danielle Heinecke, the Australian High Commissioner, deliver an insightful keynote address around the importance of cultural diversity and the value of global citizenship in the opening ceremony. Other highlights of the ceremony included captivating performances from both staff and students alike, featuring an energetic Scottish Reel, an expressive and powerful Haka, an adorable rendition of Saya Anak Malaysia by our youngest learners from the ELC and a string ensemble showcasing our talented Year 4 violinists.
The AISM campus was brightly lit throughout the day with a colourful array of traditional costumes, worn with immense pride to highlight cultural identities and backgrounds. Students also went on a trip around the world as they completed different rotations throughout the day, which allowed them to experience cuisine, sports, dance and art from an array of different cultures. The Food Fair, organised and facilitated by the PTC, was, as always, the most popular stop on the day’s journey, offering all attendees many mouth-watering opportunities to savour culinary delights from around the globe.
International Day has always held a special place within the AISM community, and this year was no exception. Our community's strengths lie in our unity and cohesion, which was beautifully demonstrated on the day as all members of the AISM family came together with a shared vision to celebrate our diversity and foster authentic intercultural connections.
