On July 14th, students from DP came together to celebrate Bastille Day, France’s national holiday marking the 1789 storming of the Bastille and the birth of the French Republic.
The assembly, a result of weeks of preparation, featured skits, dances, speeches, and historical presentations — all showcasing the students’ creativity, collaboration, and international mindedness. They performed in both English and French, embodying the IB Learner Profile throughout: as communicators, inquirers, and principled global citizens.
Highlights included a reenactment of the French Revolution, musical and dance performances, a lively tongue twister challenge, and a thoughtful presentation on higher education in France. The event concluded with a spirited rendition of La Marseillaise, France’s national anthem.
This vibrant celebration reflected our school’s commitment to intercultural understanding, holistic education, and the nurturing of well-rounded, internationally minded learners.
