MEC International Students Day
By TY Student Siobhan Dalayap
O n November 14th, the annual
International Day event took place in
the school’s assembly hall. Much like
every other year, it provided the new
first year students with the opportunity
to explore the different countries and
cultures represented within our own
student population. With such a large
community of international students,
the hall was filled with bright, diverse
stands representing countries from
around the globe including places such
as: Japan, Switzerland, Brazil and many,
many more!
Although it was a day for the first years
to learn and meet new students, it also
proved to be an enjoyable event for the
students who took part. From
researching about their own countries
to making posters and even dressing up
in traditional clothing, it encouraged
them to discover their own roots and
take pride in where they came from.
It was a day full of celebration and camaraderie between
the international students. A special big thank you to Ms.
English, Mr. Ezan and Ms. Merrigan for organising yet
another successful international day!
