Celebrating International Day of Play

11th Jun 2025

Today, we proudly join the global celebration of the International Day of Play, a day dedicated to recognising the immense value of play in every child’s life.

Play is not just fun—it’s fundamental.  It nurtures creativity, builds resilience, supports emotional wellbeing and lays the foundation for lifelong learning.  This year’s theme, “Choose Play – Every Day,” reminds us that play should be a daily part of every child’s experience, not a luxury or an afterthought.

At our school, we are committed to this vision. We are fortunate to have good play facilities—both indoors and outdoors—that continue to grow and evolve. 

On this special day, we reaffirm our dedication to ensuring that every child has the opportunity, the space and the encouragement to play—safely and joyfully.

Let’s celebrate the power of play—today and every day.
