International Day at EIS-Jumeirah High School
At the invitation of Al Habtoor Group, some of the best music stu-
dents from Emirates International School – Jumeirah performed a
rendition of the UAE National Anthem before the final match of the
Threadneedle Dubai Polo Gold Cup at the Dubai Equestrian and
Polo Club on Friday, 12th March 2010.
The young musicians, ranging in ages from 13 to 17, admitted to
nerves beforehand but were thrilled to have risen to the challenge of
a performance in front of hundreds of people at such a prestigious
event.
They were joined by other students from EIS-Jumeirah and EIS-
Meadows who volunteered as marshals to help audience members
stay a safe distance from the pitch during matches.
All students were a credit to their respective schools, learnt a lot
about the sport of polo and thoroughly enjoyed their day.
EIS students at the Threadneedle Dubai Polo Gold Cup
On Thursday, 11th March 2010, EIS-Jumeirah High School celebrated its
annual International Day – a chance for the school community to join togeth-
er in sharing and experiencing each other’s cultures. Of the seventy differ-
ent nationalities within the student population, thirty two were represented
by stalls on the day and many other countries were represented by students
wearing National costumes and colours. During the school day lessons took
on a more international flavour and after the normal school day there fol-
lowed a parade of Nations as well as singing and dancing exhibitions, camel
rides, henna painting, Arabic dancing and a plethora of stalls and displays.
All who attended enjoyed wandering the numerous stalls, sampling delica-
cies from all around the globe whilst also taking part in competitions and
learning about the different nations and cultures which make up the staff and
student body in the High School. After three hours of eating and mingling,
the night culminated with several awards being handed out. The best nation-
al stall was awarded to India, the best organized stall to Iran, the best dressed
stall to Japan and the best on stage performance to Anahit Tshughuryan of
Algeria.
A big thank you must go to all who helped make the Day such a success
