Ghana’s prestigious international school, Galaxy International School, has celebrated its annual intercultural festival with a colourful cultural display.
The 14th edition of the intercultural festival saw over 1,000 participants from across all spheres of life attending.
Over 30 countries displayed their culture.
The principal of the school, Mr Cafer Tepele, in an opening address told the gathering that the school is built on the foundation of unity, peaceful coexistence, tolerance and the acceptance of diversity.
He indicated that the school had students from over 30 countries across the globe making it a world centre of culture.
He further indicated that Galaxy International School has won the accolade of a great school because of the hard work of management, students and parents and he encouraged the continuation of the collaboration of this triad to promote the wellbeing of students.
The festival was celebrated under the theme “we may have different religions, different coloured skin, but we all belong to one human race”.
According to the principal, the theme was selected in honour of Mr Kofi Annan, the former UN Secretary-General and also to highlight the core belief of the school which is interwoven in the life of the former UN Chief.
Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Amnesty International, Ghana chapter, Hannah Osei, indicated that respect for human rights is the foundational cornerstone for the enjoyment of diversity.
The member of parliament for Ahanta West, Emmanuel Kojo Kum, who was the chairman of the occasion was extremely excited about the beauty of culture displayed at the event.
He commended the Galaxy International School for the good work they do for the nation.
He indicated that Ghana is proud to have such an excellent school.
The annual intercultural festival is celebrated by the school to create a platform for all students of the school to showcase their culture to the outside world.
