Our International Day 2018 celebrations supported this aim to further this education on the SDGs through giving students opportunities for Creativity, Action, and Service.  At the celebrations, our students contributed much effort to create exciting art-works, cross-cultural performances, and student-led workshops focused around the SDGs and what it means to be a global citizen who is committed to the achieving them.

Every year we look forward to having the ISS community (students, parents, guardians, teachers, support staff, and the wider community) come together in this celebration of our multinational, multicultural community. It was no different this year, and we had the entire school community celebrating our differences and shared goals, to make our global home a better place to live in for all!”
