RACIAL HARMONY DAY
The first thing that comes into your mind when you hear the word 'Racial harmony day' is most probably that the students and teachers would come to school in their traditional costumes right? Well, in ESSS most of the students did come to school in their traditional costumes. The traditional costumes came in different colours that shows the different races in Singapore. Some student also sell different types of traditional food and some even performed at the carnival held in the atrium. Seeing them having so much fun, I decided to interview one of the students who where involved in the carnival. She is Jia Hui from class 1N2
