Organised by the school’s cultural committee, the week-long celebration focuses on bringing the school community together to explore and celebrate the rich diversity of cultures within the school and the wider community.

There were different activities each day, with students able to participate in various events, try their hand at origami and have a go at games like kabaddi and kī-o-rahi.
