It's that time of year again, a bustling period where the
raw prowess and spirit of the student body and staff are
gradually manifested transforming a place of learning into
a diverse, multicultural exhibit. It's the famous Interna-
tional Day. As the name suggests, the rich culture and tra-
ditions of iconic countries are hauled overseas; extensive
research, cooperation and simply creativity being the
method of shipment. It's the Journalism Club's honor to
shed light on this great day.
The process of International Day can be divided into 3
parts:
Choosing a country
Preparation for respective country
Display of respective country
The first step of choosing a country is a decision taken ei-
ther by the class or respective class teacher. As simple as
that may sound, it is not. An inspection of candidate coun-
tries is carried out by classes/staff. A country possessing a
profound, historic background such as Egypt or China, and
well known for its picturesque, natural scenery such as
Malaysia are prime candidates; in other words, a country
with a universally known trademark.
Among considerations are the level of difficulty of bring-
ing the country to life, type of cuisine, traditional clothing,
exuberant dances, and last but not least availability. Much
research has to be carried out by the students in order to
familiarize themselves with the aspects of various cul-
tures. Thus, as much as International Day is an entertain-
ing and leisure event, it is primarily a source of knowledge
for not only the parents, but the students.
