THE schoolyard of CBS Primary was awash with colour and noise on Thursday as the school held International Day.

There were well over 40 nationalities in a parade led by African drummers, which snaked its way through the corridors of the school and into the yard.

There were songs in different languages, dancing and music and later the children got an opportunity to taste foods from other countries and learn about their culture.

“It’s a magnificent celebration,” said Principal of CBS Primary, Denis Coleman. “A huge part of today is to give the children a sense of the diversity of cultures here and it’s also a great way for them to show how proud they are of where they came from.

“They are fascinated looking at all the flags and the traditional dress of the various nations represented. There’s a real sense of pride when wearing these clothes and it’s great for their fellow students to see because they are normally in their school uniforms.

“Of course, if you were to ask the pupils where they come from, they would say Tralee. But today we can see where their family comes from,” he added. Scroll down for photos…
