Dress up your chair Challenge In celebration of International Languages week, we will run a school wide competition, where Aratakis, staff, students, can dress up a chair in their ethnicity/cultural wear. These will be paraded during the Parade of Nations, as well as displayed during our Knights of the Arts community show. If you wish to enter this competition, please send me an email with what culture you will be dressing a chair up as.
All chairs are to be ready by Thursday interval and brought over to the Auditorium.

Come along and see your friends in the Arts and Languages subjects perform songs, dances and various items, in celebration of International Languages Week.
