International Friendship Day


Today's school assembly is about 'International Friendship Day'. International Friendship Day is a day to help students learn about and appreciate other cultures and to also nurture in them the spirit of friendship and collaboration among different people. This year's International Friendship Day falls on 17 April, Friday. The theme for International Friendship Day 2009 is 'Getting to know ASEAN' where students will get to learn and appreciate cultures in ASEAN countries and understand the importance of good bilateral relations with our neighbours.

They invited a drama group to illustrate how the foreign students might feel when they are in Singapore. Some of them might miss their home while others felt isolated. They are lonely and does not have much friends. Unfortunately, some are discriminated by others and no one wants to get near them. However, with people of different race and religion come together, a happy ending will arise.
