They were shy and apprehensive at first, but they took a step and put one foot in front of the other until their excitement led them to becoming more confident and empowered. International Day grew to be such an enriching experience as students boldly visited embassies and interviewed diplomats and key persons. Finally, students extended to the rest of the school community, parents, and guests what they had learned by decorating their classrooms, dressing up and performing, and even giving visitors a taste of the traditional food in the various countries they represented. Each one even had a passport that was stamped for every classroom they visited! It was like going on a world tour in one day!
The children were so immersed and engaged in their learning that a whole-day celebration was definitely worth it because HIBS believes that a love of learning should be instilled in every child and that it can be done through fun and unforgettable experiences.
With students themselves being involved, taking the helm, casting their ships off the shore, and sailing towards the horizon, HIBS is full of pride and joy in them, confident that however simple the output is --however modest the decorations may be, however inaccurate the traditional dance steps might possibly be, however imperfect the dishes could be, there is no doubt that the students have learned. In this way, they have grown as humanists with respect for others, and that is what matters.
