International Day

Today, Jarvis school celebrated International Day, where the whole school celebrated the many diverse cultures that attend The International Grammar School. Each year, in turn, had use of the assembly hall, where they performed songs and dance in the various languages that they learn. The viewing parents, carers and extended family members were treated to songs in Italian, German, French and Japanese. Pre-school and Transistion classes were staged at 11.00am.

Jarvis was so, so pleased to see his Dah in the audience and kept telling everyone who'd listen "Look that's my Dah", I was so touched. Jarvis did pretty well up until about half way through the set, when he had a few tears, brought on by tiredness, as we'd been up since 5.00am. He wasn't the only one though, as it was quite a long process to get everyone through the performance, plus there was about a 20-minute delay at the start, due to technical difficulties.

However, all in all, it was wonderful to see my wee man, doing his first ever school performance. It also confirmed why we picked IGS as the school we wanted to send our boys to, as it's very culturally blended, creative and forward thinking. It was just lovely to see some of the wee ones in their National costumes too and I manged to grab a picture of Jarvis beautiful friend Anjali, in her sari as she left the hall.
