2022 CULTURAL DAY EVENT
Cultural day celebration comes up once in a session. It is usually thrilling and fun filled. It is an event that gives the pupils/students the opportunity to showcase the cultural heritage of our Father land; Nigeria.
This year’s cultural day celebration which was held on Friday 27th May, 2022, was unique, as the school decided to embrace foreign culture. The Management of SHOMS International College used the opportunity to help the pupils/students create love for other culture different from theirs.

The programme proceeded with the presentation of the divers’ local dishes waiting to arouse the appetite of the tasting judges where the students had to explain the ingredients used in the preparation of the fascinating delicacies.
Different cultural song and dance were displayed and from the faces and attitude of the pupils/students and parents, it was obvious they were having a nice time.
