Craighead celebrated this cultural event in style! The Language Ambassadors organised competitions for students to enter and there was a raffle for some language-themed cookies.
We also held a Cultural Dress Day, when students and staff came dressed in either traditional clothing or in the colours of a country they have a connection to. The photos show the wonderfully diverse range of cultures we have within our school community. There was also a “Language of the Day”, with staff and students greeting one another in that language.
The wonderful dining room staff provided a delicious menu for the week to tie in with the language being celebrated each day. The choice of food on offer was superb and included a French charcuterie sharing table, Chinese chicken chow mein with spring rolls, German Bratwurst in a bun, Indian butter chicken with naan bread, and Japanese karaage chicken poke bowls. What a treat!
All funds raised from the cookie raffle and the Cultural Dress Day will be going to support Multicultural Aoraki and the valuable work they do in our community.
A huge thank you to all our students and staff for embracing International Languages week and making it such a success!
