International Friendship Day

As part of cultivating our school values of Openness and Sharing, Ascensia Academy held International Friendship Day on 27th July, celebrating the diversity of cultures and traditions in both Singapore and our school.  Many teachers and visitors kindly agreed to talk to our students about the multi-faceted social fabric of Singapore.

Ascensia students learnt about Singapore’s unique cultural heritage, the Peranakans, and also discussed their own countries’ traditions with each other. Through this, they were exposed to many different mindsets, experiences and viewpoints, which greatly broadened their horizons. As part of the sharing process, we also encouraged students to come in traditional garb in order to showcase their cultures.


The students in each class also bonded over traditional local snacks and chatted with our visitors about customs and traditions in Singapore.
