International Day
Saturday, 9 June 2018, 11:00 – 16:00, BIS Campus
International Day is the school community's largest social event, celebrating the cultural and culinary diversity of BIS. There are over 20 food stalls serving food and drink from a variety of countries represented in our school community. There are also performances, children's activities, sports and much more. Everyone is welcome!
This International Day, We Are Going Green.
We will minimize all disposable items. Instead we will use plates, cups and cutlery lent to us by Rentacook.
You can hire your own set for 1 ticket deposit on the day. We ask that you use this throughout the day.
OR You can bring your own cutlery and crockery (no throw away items): use that picnic basket you have packed away, or those Ikea plastic items you have at home, or any other reusable items.
Small changes have a huge impact. Let’s all do our bit!
