Besides having colorful performances by the students that represent a few UN countries, our east campus also had a speech competition about the traditional food based on the assigned country of each class. Not only telling a story about the food, but the class representative also has to show how to make it and explain it to the audience. There were also dance and singing performances from each class in the native language of their assigned country as well. Congratulation for grade P1, P2, and P6 which won the competition and splendidly entertaining the audience.

While at our west campus, the United Nations Day celebrations also run not less lively.

The lower primary classes performed Indonesian traditional group dances and the upper primary presented the piece from other countries. Congratulation for grade P4B, grade P4A dan grade P1A who won the best performance of United Nation Day 2018. It is very interesting to learn about international culture in a fun and entertaining way. Thumbs up for all the students who practiced diligently for the performances.

The show began with a Parade of Nations where all contestants showed their best look in National costume.
