Racial Harmony Day was celebrated on 21 July in Mayflower. The event was to commemorate the 1964 Race Riots, which took place on 21 July 1964.




Racial Harmony Day also represents a day for us to reflect on, and celebrate Singapore's success as a racially harmonious nation and society built on a rich diversity of culture and heritage.


Here in Mayflower, students are encouraged to be dressed in their traditional costumes such as the Cheongsam and the Baju Kurung and Punjabi suits/saris.






Traditional delicacies are also featured in the celebrations.






Traditional games such as five stones were played.

An exhibition was put up by the English department to showcase the rich culture that Singapore has and students were asked to guess whose wedding clothes these were!
