The International College buzzed with activity this week as it hosted its highly anticipated annual Culture Fair, a vibrant celebration of diversity and global traditions. With 18 nationalities represented, the event showcased cultural stalls packed with delicious cuisine, refreshing drinks, fascinating facts, and creative presentations, giving attendees an immersive experience.
Students and staff worked together to make the event a success. Students enthusiastically cooked and prepared dishes under staff supervision, ensuring authentic flavours and traditional recipes. By early afternoon, the Dining Hall and stairway filled with energy as stalls took shape and vibrant decorations transformed the space into a festive setting.
As students enjoyed the food and drink, talented performers entertained the crowd from the mezzanine music stage. Throughout the afternoon, solo and duo performances from China, Korea, Ukraine, Russia, and Italy captivated the audience. The 12-piece IC Band delivered a standout set, while traditional instrument performances added an extra cultural touch.
Jao’s sister played a key role in the Brazilian stall, making a heartfelt contribution. Her efforts ensured the timely delivery of 50 brigadeiros—mini condensed milk chocolate sweets that hold special significance in Brazil. These treats, which arrived early in the morning, delighted attendees with their rich flavour.
The IC Culture Fair remains a highlight of the year, reinforcing the College’s commitment to cultural understanding and inclusivity. By bringing together students and staff, the event celebrated shared traditions and the rich diversity of the school community.
