STA celebrates International Day
Thursday 2nd June saw STA Primary enjoy our International Day. It really was fantastic to see everyone dressed up in their national costumes and colours. It is always a great reminder that we have so many different nationalities represented at the school.
The Year 6 quad was turned into a festival atmosphere with flags adorned around the balcony, a stage set up to host many wonderful acts and a parade of flags with over 50 countries represented. It really was a spectacular sight. Acts included a Japanese song, a German dance, a samba football dance and a wonderful International dance that covered many countries in a 7 minute spectacular. All students throughout the school were able to come and enjoy the show and celebrate together.
Back in the classrooms on the day and in the days leading up to the event, many interesting and fun learning experiences were happening around the school. Some parents kindly came in and shared their country's customs and culture with our younger students.
The students got to experience different countries from around the world as the teachers chose a country and shared activities with them. There was a British tea party, sunset picture-making from Ghana and learning how to perform the haka from New Zealand.
Thank you to all the teachers, parents and students that worked so hard to bring the school alive and truly celebrate this special occasion.
