WARSAW, 5 November 2026. Thames British School Warsaw celebrated International Day on 22 October, with its community taking part on all three campuses. Classrooms became country exhibits, pupils paraded in national dress in front of their parents, and the high school campus hosted an international talent competition with 10 student performances.
At the Mokotów Primary Campus, students from Early Years to Year 6 turned their classrooms into country exhibits, with decorated doors, geography displays and family memorabilia. Children presented facts about capital cities, populations, landmarks, local wildlife and famous historical figures, then toured the classrooms with event passports to collect stickers before sharing international snacks. The day peaked with a fashion show in which pupils walked the corridors in national dress while parents lined the route.
The Włochy Campus held its own celebration for Early Years and Primary pupils, organised by Mr Tommie Cato and Mr Dakota Fischer with the support of staff and teachers. Classrooms featured decorations, facts and traditional outfits. In the afternoon, families were welcomed to an open-doors session that ended with a runway show, with Ms Jo Monowid as MC giving commentary on the history and culture of each country represented.
At the Mokotów High School Campus, students planned and ran the event themselves with guidance from Mr Tomasz Wierczorek. Lower Secondary students and visiting families spent the afternoon on cultural exchange, displays and food from around the world.
The centrepiece was an international talent competition with 10 performances, from dance routines to singing and instrumental music, which the school described as the finest show in its history. Bronek, a Year 13 student, took top honours with a hip-hop routine set to the track Revolution Klickaud.
“International Day proved once again that our diversity is our power.”
