FRIDAY     FLASH

We invite the IICS community, encompassing students, parents, family members, and staff, to join us for a day of unity as we celebrate our cultural diversity. This event promises a delightful experience with our vibrant flag parade, a variety of country and regional booths with food and cultural displays, mini performances from our students, parents and staff, engaging activities, a national basket raffle, and surprise gifts.  

FLAG PARADE

This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to proudly represent their country and showcase our rich cultural heritage. Please find the link to the flag parade registration here and kindly ensure that you fill it in by Sunday May 18th at the latest.
