The atmosphere beamed with pride and smiles for each culture represented.

Each stall had samples of dishes unique to each represented culture, from ‘melkkos’ to samoosas and baklava.

Colorful posters containing information about each culture were displayed, and some parents and children proudly wore bright traditional clothes.

“Cultural Day at RCS is a great experience. It not only teaches our children about cultural diversity but also to respect and understand each other’s differences,” said one of the parents, Sharon Strydom.

As said by the poet William Cowper, “variety is the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor.” RCS certainly brought the spice with its Cultural Day.
