“At CIS, we believe that embracing diversity enriches our students’ experiences and broadens their perspectives,” said Shweta Sastri, Managing Director, Canadian International School. “Multicultural Day is a celebration of who we are as a community — open, inclusive and globally minded.”
Dr. Ted Mockrish, Head of School, echoed this sentiment, emphasising, “One of CIS’s greatest strengths is the incredible diversity within our school — this year it gives me great joy to be a part of a celebration with 42 nationalities on campus. Multicultural Day at CIS not only highlights our varied backgrounds, but also reinforces the values of respect and integrity while nurturing a joy for learning and global citizenship that we instill in our students.”
The celebration was particularly meaningful for students, who took pride in sharing their heritage with peers. Tristan, grade 11 student from India shared, “I got a glimpse into a lot of cultures and their traditions and was able to try a lot of different foods from around the world. It was very very interesting.”
Parents also appreciated the event’s impact. Ms. Maggie, a parent from Taiwan, said “It touched my heart that we could represent our country today and feel welcomed.”
With its strong commitment to fostering global citizenship, CIS continues to create opportunities for cultural exchange and learning beyond the classroom. Multicultural Day exemplifies the school’s dedication to building an inclusive community where every student feels valued and celebrated.
