From dazzling sarees and kimonos to football jerseys and traditional robes, every outfit told a story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A series of cultural performances\u00a0 brought incredible energy and joy to the parade square, later followed by our classic Flag Parade. Student and staff flag bearers waved the flags of their nations with pride as everyone cheered them on. The Country Fair, a staple event by our OWIS Parent Community which improves in scale and participation every year, was a favourite among many. This year, the Fair offered a global journey through vibrant customs, traditions and flavours, from Lithuanian mushroom cookies to yakitori skewers and everything in between.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the festivities, International Day was also an opportunity for meaningful learning. Classrooms transformed into spaces for reflective discussions about what it means to be a global citizen, someone who values empathy, inclusivity, and collaboration. Through these conversations, students learned that understanding and appreciating differences is the first step toward creating a more connected and compassionate world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Day is a shining example of the OWIS ethos of kindness, respect, and inclusivity. With no single nationality exceeding 30% of the student body, OWIS offers a truly international environment where every child feels seen, valued, and heard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To watch the full video, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZD-Q-cupa4c?si=YaTV1bAzZ-rW9AWa\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZD-Q-cupa4c?si=YaTV1bAzZ-rW9AWa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diversity is more than just a number, it is the heart of who we are as a community.
