Happy Nigeria Independence Day 2021!
Independence Day is an official national holiday in Nigeria, celebrated on 1 October. It marks Nigeria’s proclamation of independence from British rule on 1 October 1960.
Culture is a way of life, and Nigerian children are the future of the country.
It was lovely to have our pupils showcase the various ethnic groups and teach them about unity in diversity as we celebrated Nigeria!
This was our very first BIJS Nigeria Independence Day, and children and staff came to school wearing traditional clothing.
The day started with a whole-school assembly and class presentations. Children have participated in various arts and crafts activities geared towards learning about the rich Nigerian heritage.
We wanted to thank the school community for celebrating Nigerian Independence Day 2021 with us.
Look forward to a bigger celebration next year!
Best wishes,
Ms Manda
Head of School
