HSSG: International Day x Foodie Fest I
nternational Day x Foodie fest was an exciting student festival that took place after school, on Friday November 20th. As this was a predominantly student-run activity, students across all of high school and middle school participated by setting up booths. First of all, the International day section of the festival consisted of each grade in high school being assigned to different countries, and 3 middle school booths, splitting the middle school houses into groups of two. Each group would create a booth, filled with either food or cultural items from that country. Everyone present was free to go to any booth and get a taste of the food, do an activity, or get a souvenir from the country each booth showcased. Some students also distributed food and items to people walking around the festival. It was a truly wonderful experience to try foods and cultures from different countries, broadening our cultural diversity. Below are some thoughts from students who were a part of the festival! Title (G12): On International Day, the HSSG collaborated with multiple clubs to create a wonderful Foodie Fest. As class representative of the seniors, I worked with my friends to create the jeopardy trivia representing our given country for international day. Since we are representing Australia, we decided to dress up as Koalas and Kangaroos while some senior HSSG members joined by a few people dressed up as zoo keepers. My overall thought of this event is that the concept of celebrating the food and culture of different regions around the world really showcase the diversity of beliefs in human nature.
