headmaster letter PTO International Festival Thank you to the many parents that organized and supported with the PTO International Festival. It really is one of the most spectacular days of the year at ISHCMC and is only possible with the efforts of everyone involved. In addition there were games and activities on and off the pitch enjoyed by all. The event required a lot of setting up on the Friday evening and Saturday morning, so another special thank you those parents that were working behind the scenes to ensure another fantastic event.
