International Festival 2019
OYIS International Festival is a way to celebrate our schools’ diverse cultural background and to connect with our local community.
We are excited to invite you to join us on Saturday, May 18th from 10:00 – 16:00 at OYIS.
This year we have decided to make a number of changes that we believe will highlight our vibrant, diverse and dynamic community. Highlights of the festival include a number of interactive workshops, performances and a range of international food options – try a sample of Korean, Indian and Japanese food and make sure to visit one of the food trucks.
The proceeds will be donated to charities such as Ark, KIVA, Japanese Disaster Relief fund and school.
The event is sure to be great fun for the entire family. We hope you will come and join us.

Sustainability
Now more than ever, with climate change and the plastic crisis, OYIS should model and support sustainable practices, in the community and within the school. At the festival, OYIS wants to promote the ethos of reuse, reduce and recycle and promote that we all have a responsibility for sharing the planet.
We are asking that festival participants support us in reducing our environmental impact. We will be actively limiting the use of plastic and the generation of garbage.
What to bring?
Bring your own cup, plate and cutlery – the first people to arrive with their own plates will receive a free eco bag. (Insert picture of Shoji and Saito)
A cup, plate and bowl will be available to hire from the ticket booth for 1 ticket (rental).
Eco stations and volunteers will wash the plates when you have finished – just return the plates before you leave!
