UN Day

23 October 2009

The anniversary of the entry into force of the United Nations Charter on 24 October 1945 has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948. It has traditionally been marked throughout the world by meetings, discussions and exhibits on the achievements and goals of the Organization. In 1971, the General Assembly recommended that Member States observe it as a public holiday.

Every October, we mark this important international day by inviting all students, parents, school links and friends to enjoy a fine range of good food and entertainment from around the world.
