2023 Cultural Day Celebration

2023 Cultural Day Celebration

Culture can be said to be the beliefs, values, behaviour and material objects that constitute a people’s way of life. As a school, we see every need to educate our students about the diverse ethnic groups and their cultural backgrounds in our dear nation. Culture can be likened to the umbilical cord that connects every man to his root, hence the need to intimate our students about their cultural backgrounds with this remarkable event.

This year’s cultural celebration captures strategic indigenous ethnic groups like the Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, and Edo/Delta cultural groups. To promote global inclusiveness, this year’s celebration transcends our national boundaries to explore Indian culture. The students were painstakingly groomed to showcase the aforementioned cultures in terms of their native attire, language, belief system, and local delicacies. It was a sight to behold as the students independently presented news in their local dialects and showcased their culinary skills as they took us through the process of cooking various tribal delicacies and glamorous fashion parades that portray different tribes within and outside Nigeria.

The celebration was heightened by a good drama presentation that reinforced the need for unity, irrespective of our different ethnicities, to enhance our collective growth as a nation. Also, parents couldn’t help but dance along in succession with the presentation of the Yoruba, Igbo and Edo cultural dances. Of course, the event was not devoid of competitiveness, as the Indian cultural group took centre stage with their groundbreaking performance in their colorful costumes.

The celebration climaxed with a buffet as parents, teachers, students and all guests made their choices from the variety of local delicacies that cut across all tribes and cultures. The photo session and videos are available for your viewing pleasure. It is indeed an event to look forward to.
