Saugeen District Senior School – a lesson in culture

Flags of the world in an unusual fan display

The second annual Cultural Fair held at Saugeen District Senior School (SDSS) held on April 10th, was a resounding success as students, teachers and visitors filled the ‘cafetorium’ to take in the diversity of cultures.

Students created displays from countries around the world that explained their cultures, food, clothing styles, historical significance, geography and many other items of interest.

From the far north of Iceland to countries of India, Morocco, Scotland and more, some of the displays also included food samples native to each.

The event is also a lesson in geography and history, as students wrote personal, or researched, historical pieces.

This year’s exhibition hours were also extended to give community members the opportunity to attend.

It was a day filled with opportunities to learn about the homelands of many of the students  who attend SDSS, or their family histories, while also a chance to explore the many countries that make up the planet.
