International Day 2026: A Celebration of Community and Culture

International Day 2026: A Celebration of Community and Culture

On Friday, May 16, ASB held its most anticipated event of the year, International Day, and it did not disappoint.

Nineteen country tables filled the campus with the aromas of cuisines from around the world. Guests enjoyed an afternoon of delicious food and great entertainment from the student bands, orchestra classes, dancers, cheerleaders, and more, while younger students had a blast at the bouncy castles and foam party.

Children dance and sing in front of a keyboard and speakers, with market stalls and a basketball court visible in the sunny background.

 

A huge thank you goes to our Parents Association Executive Team who put in an enormous amount of work to make the day run smoothly, and to the many parent volunteers who showed up ready to cook, serve, sell tickets, and everything in between.
