Racial Harmony Day 2025

Racial Harmony Day was commemorated in school in Week 4 of Term 3 from the 21^st July (Monday) to 25^th July (Friday).

The theme for Racial Harmony Day (RHD) , ‘Our People, Our Tapestry’, reminds us that the diverse cultural threads in our society are intricately intertwined, working together to form a vibrant and unified whole. The objective of RHD is to help students recognise the importance of mutual understanding, appreciation, and respect among our various ethnic communities; all of which are key to preserving the strength and harmony of our multicultural society.

This year, our RHD commemoration continued to deepen students’ awareness that cultural expression takes many forms. In keeping with the theme, the focus remained on ethnic food and snacks; always a crowd favourite and with an exciting new addition: ethnic games.

It was heartening to see our students and teachers coming together during CCE lessons to bring, share and enjoy a wide array of traditional snacks and games. The classroom celebrations were filled with laughter, curiosity, and rich conversations. The lively demonstrations of Kabaddi, Wushu, and Sepak Raga further engaged our students, sparking interest in traditional ethnic sports and highlighting the diversity of expression across cultures.

During recess, the interactive ethnic games booth was a popular attraction, where students enthusiastically participated in nostalgic games such as 5 Stones, Chapteh, and Congkak. Their enthusiasm and openness to explore reflected the heart of Racial Harmony Day: a celebration of shared experiences and cultural learning.

The commemoration would not have been possible without the dedication of our teachers and the wholehearted participation of our students. Together, they helped bring the theme “Our People, Our Tapestry” to life in meaningful and memorable ways.
