Day: 23 April 2026

Last Saturday, 18 April, Anne Hill International School welcomed families to its April Open Day: World Harmony Day. Families brought energy to the campus. Kids tried new experiences, parents enjoyed the booths and food, and everyone joined in the activities. Teachers and staff also connected with families, sharing about learning and community. These conversations gave parents a clearer picture of how Anne Hill International School celebrated diversity and promoted world harmony. 

The event was not simply about showcasing facilities. It was about culture, diversity, and the joy of discovery. Families had the chance to see how our international school nurtures learners to explore the world, enjoy new perspectives, and grow into confident global citizens. 

Flavours of the World 

One of the highlights of the day was the wide range of food and beverage booths, all served free of charge. Families tasted authentic flavours from around the world — mango sticky rice from Thailand, Vietnamese spring rolls, Japanese takoyaki, Korean fried chicken, Mexican tacos, Frozt popsicles and Passio drinks.  Parents and children enjoyed moving from booth to booth, discovering how culture can be shared through food. The variety of flavours reflected the diversity of our community and showed how harmony can begin with something as simple as sharing a meal.

Exploring New Ways of Learning

At Anne Hill International School, we believe education is most meaningful when learning happens through play and discovery. During the April Open Day, children had the chance to join a variety of activities. Booths featured STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) experiments, art and craft, football, dancing, and chess, each led by trusted extra-curricular partners who guided children with care and enthusiasm. With this variety of activities, parents were able to watch their children try out new skills and discover fresh interests.

A huge thank you to MindX, Nuvi, Chess Plus, Fox Football, and Bee Star for their incredible support. Their contributions helped make World Harmony such a meaningful and fulfilling experience.

Creative Expressions of World Harmony 

Following the theme, children joined activities that reflected unity and world harmony. One of the most popular activities was the ‘Unity in Diversity’ flag coloring board. This was where participants painted flags from around the world. It encouraged children to express multicultural perspectives and reinforced the idea that at AHI, every country is valued as part of one global community.

Another highlight was the lively ‘Golden Bell’ pop quiz, which challenged learners in a spirit of friendly competition. Questions such as ‘Which country is home to the pandas?’ and ‘Which country is shaped like a high‑heeled boot?’ sparked curiosity and laughter while teaching fun facts about different nations.

Together, these activities showed how world harmony can be celebrated in creative and accessible ways. They reminded families that learning about world cultures builds respect, curiosity, and a sense of belonging.

Gaining insights about AHI Academic & School Life

Throughout the morning, families were also welcomed by Mr. Sean O’Maonaigh, Head of School, and the Academic Leadership Team.

Following this warm welcome, we hosted curriculum workshops where our teachers shared about our curriculum. Besides sharing key information about subjects like Mathematics, English, and Science, our teachers also highlighted how the International Primary Curriculum is being integrated into teaching and learning. By opening our classrooms to families, we ensure they gain a clear understanding of what and how their children are learning the AHI way.

 Alongside the workshops and presentations, parents also enjoyed guided campus tours and admissions consultations. These activities gave them a closer look at how Anne Hill International School nurtures learners in a supportive and diverse environment. Conversations with staff and current families highlighted the school’s commitment to cultivating a community. This is what we aim to make every child feel valued and inspired to explore their potential.

A Living Example of Diversity and Harmony

World Harmony Day at Anne Hill International School was more than just an Open Day. It was a chance for families to come together, share food, enjoy activities, and celebrate the cultures that make our community special. Children laughed, played, and discovered new ideas, while parents saw how diversity can enrich everyday learning.

The event showed that Anne Hill International School is not only a place where children study but also a home where they grow with care and respect. By learning about different cultures and values, our learners are encouraged to be curious, kind, and confident. They are guided to become global citizens who understand and appreciate the world around them.
