The afternoon offered a lively programme that allowed learners to embrace different cultures, showcase their talents and enjoy a break from the usual school routine.

Food and market stalls attracted plenty of interest, while the entertainment kept the crowd engaged. The NRS choir took to the stage with a musical performance, followed by a traditional dance group whose energetic display added to the celebrations.
