A Night of Community and Celebration: Our Annual Iftar Dinner at Nexus

This week, the Nexus International School (Singapore) community gathered for our much-loved annual Iftar, the meal served at sunset to break the fast during the holy month of Ramadan. It was a wonderful evening that saw around 150 learners, staff, and parents join as one; some to break their fast together, and others to learn more and share a special evening together as a community.

The Iftar is a highlight of our school calendar and a true reflection of the many cultures that call Nexus home. It is an evening where we don’t just learn about traditions; we experience them together through shared stories and a shared meal.

Creativity and Connection with the NCG

The evening was made truly special by the Nexus Community Group (NCG). Our wonderful parent volunteers ran a fantastic array of craft and reading activities for learners to enjoy ahead of the meal, and also showcased their incredible craftsmanship by upcycling old school uniforms into beautiful, handmade table decorations. Their creativity was a brilliant example of the sustainable and resourceful spirit we value at Nexus.

Reflecting on the Holy Month

Our learners played a vital role in the evening, stepping forward to share what the holy month of Ramadan means to them personally. Hearing their reflections on spiritual growth, empathy, patience and the importance of community was a moving and educational experience for everyone in attendance.

A Feast for All

Of course, no Iftar is complete without the food! Everyone enjoyed a delicious menu, featuring a variety of dishes that brought a taste of tradition to our tables. It was the perfect conclusion to an evening defined by inclusivity and togetherness.

Events like these remind us why the Nexus community is so special. We are proud to be a place where global traditions are celebrated and where every family feels they belong. We look forward to many more opportunities to gather and celebrate our vibrant, global community!
