International School Dhaka (ISD) has recently observed the 54th Victory Day of Bangladesh with a heartfelt assembly by bringing together the whole school community to honor the country’s rich history and sacrifices of the martyrs. The assembly was held at ISD’s gymnasium, and a tapestry of performances was exhibited that monumentalized the spirit of patriotism and unity. The assembly began with a warm welcome from Mr. Steve Calland-Scoble, the Director of International School Dhaka. He expressed, “We believe in nurturing a deep understanding of our cultural roots and history. Victory Day is the perfect opportunity to reflect on our collective pasts and empower our students to build a brighter future for the country. Today’s performances embody our students and nation’s creativity, resilience, and pride.”
Following the welcome speech, students from Grades 3, 4, and 5 performed the National Anthem, setting a respectful and uplifting tone for the event. This was followed by a series of captivating performances, each showcasing the talent and enthusiasm of our students across various grades. Two Grade 12 students narrated the history of Bangladesh, providing a thoughtful context for the occasion. Kindergarten students delivered a delightful musical performance, while Grade 7 students performed the patriotic song “Ami Banglay Gaan Gai.” A collaborative poetry and drama presentation on “Ekattor Chithi” by students from Grades 6 and 12 added depth and emotion to the program. All these performances enlightened the audience about the immense sacrifices made during the Liberation War. They connected the younger generation with their heritage and instilled a sense of gratitude towards the country’s martyrs and heroes. The event reaffirmed ISD’s commitment to fostering a sense of community and cultural appreciation among the learners and staff members.
