Today, 13th October, we enjoyed a very nice assembly presented by Miss Debra. Miss Debra asked the students what they had to be grateful for and showed us a video about a man with a significant physical disability. he brought a positive message to the children, explaining that we should celebrate who we are and celebrate what we have. 

The students were encouraged to share what they were grateful for. Feedback came from students from grade 1-6 and the responses included comments like: "I am thankful for my health", "I am thankful for my family", "I am thankful for my school and my teachers", "I am thankful for my environment":

We would like to thank Miss Debra for organising today's assembly. Ironically, I had sent an email to staff the evening earlier with the following message: 

INTERNATIONAL DAY- SEPTEMBER 2014

International Day was a great success and the students were very engaged in the activities during the day. We had a lovely student assembly at 11:00 where the students presented what they had prepared to their peers. It was very colourful and varied, with song, dance, poetry and video.

This was followed with a variety of regional dishes prepared by our parent body in each classroom. It was lovely to see, smell and sample dishes from our wide and varied nationalities. 

Thanks to all for their engagement and enthusiasm during this event.
