Flag Day & National Day Celebrations By Mr Chris May
November and December are very special months within NLCS Dubai as we celebrate and commemorate the formation of the Union, UAE Flag Day and Commemoration day. This year, flag day was marked with our Emirati students from all grades observing the raising of the flag on the field. Fatima in Grade 6 read the UAE oath beautifully and all proudly listened to the UAE National Anthem as the flag was raised high. National Day at NLCS Dubai was celebrated on the 25th November this year with all students enjoying a range of activities and experiences relating to the country we all call home. From traditional music and dance to collaborative art works; we all got in the spirt of the occasion. This year we not only celebrate the history of the UAE but also the future as the nation celebrates its 50th birthday. Students in the Junior School dressed in traditional outfits of flag colours as is tradition but this year, as it’s the big 5-0 our senior school students came dressed for a party! We also managed to do a 50 on the field this year, in a somewhat different way than usual. The day featured a police dog show, falcon display, local art work and some wonderful Emirati flavours. We would like to thank all the staff and parents who worked so hard and contributed towards our celebrations. Hopefully next year, we can invite all of our community into the school to celebrate with us.
