Racial Harmony Day 

Whenever people think of Racial Harmony Day, they would think of wearing their traditional clothes. However the EVGians did not.

This year, our school celebrated Racial Harmony Day by having a ‘Mind your Language’ skit. The play was about foreigners who have come to Singapore and integrate as part of our community. We learnt that we should communicate by speaking proper English and not Singlish.

We enjoyed the skit as they showed us how we can make friends of other nationalities despite our differences. We also learnt the importance of speaking good English to gel people together and communicate better.

On that day, our visitors from Chang Chung also watched it with us and they enjoyed the skit too. They even took pictures while the play was going on. They would be involved in school activities for three days and some of us got to know them better by talking to them. They got to learn about what National Education is and celebrated Racial Harmony with us.

In this way, we had celebrated Racial Harmony with people from different countries. Hence it is more meaningful and helps us to remember this event even better. After this event, we are looking forward to next year’s Racial Harmony Day. Hopefully, there will be visitors from other countries coming here again.
