2026 UN Night - A Celebration of Culture & Connection
On 19 June 2026, we are bringing our community together for UN Night - an outdoor evening of food, music, activities and cultural celebration. Building on the energy of the students’ UN Day, from 3pm to 8pm, this event will open the gates to families, alumni and the wider community, inviting everyone to reconnect with the school and celebrate the diversity that makes Indro High so special.
Communities that come together are stronger together. If the 2026 event is a success, there's every reason to make this into an annual tradition, where past members of our school community are always welcomed back to reconnect at UN Night.
Call‑Out for Cultural Activities & Food Volunteers
We’re building something truly special for UN Day and UN Night — and we need the passion, creativity and cultural knowledge of our Indro community to bring it to life. With 92 cultures represented at our school, this is our moment to showcase who we are. To make it happen, we need your help in two key areas.
1) Cultural Activities — Share a Skill, a Craft or a Tradition
We’re looking for families who can help create hands‑on activity stalls that get students excited about learning something from your culture. You don’t need to be an expert — just someone willing to share.
Some activities we’d love to offer (and need volunteers to lead) include:
- Calligraphy — writing names or proverbs in your language
- Martial arts — short introductory group sessions
- Cultural art or craft — mosaic tiling, lantern making, weaving, paper art
- Food‑inspired activities — simple, hands‑on experiences students can recreate at home, such as:
• Cooking Taiyaki
• Making Garam Masala or Chai spice blends
• Italian/Spanish hot chocolate
• Pizza dough, pasta, or pastry making
• Any other cultural food idea you’d love to share
Current activity stalls already confirmed:
Origami Craft, Chinese Calligraphy, Chinese Fan Painting, Swedish Flower Crowns, Rock Climbing, Soccer Shoot‑Out, World Trivia, Global Games, Glass Painting, Tai Chi.
To share an activity idea and get involved with making the fun a reality for our students, please contact Chase on activities@ishspandc.org.au We need to finalise our activities program by 15 March to stay on track, so we would love to hear from you soon!
2) Food Stalls, Snack Donations & Community Cooking Sessions
Food is one of the most powerful ways to share culture, and we want UN Night to be bursting with affordable, authentic, diverse flavours.
To make this possible, we’re running two initiatives and we need your help:
a) Snack Donations
Teens love snacks - especially ones they’ve never tried before! If you can donate store‑bought sweet or savoury snacks from your culture, we’d love to include them at the P&C Food Stall. Snacks must be in original packaging, shelf‑stable, and labelled with ingredients. To help, email Maryanne at president@ishspandc.org.au
b) Community Cooking Sessions
We’re hosting group cooking sessions in the tuckshop to prepare large‑batch cultural dishes (around 500 serves per dish) that can be frozen or stored ahead of the event. So far, we’re making:
• Lebanese Pies
• Traditional Bolognaise
• Turkish Delight
We need 2 to 4 more recipes that reflect a different culture — and families who can lead the cooking. You don’t need to cook alone; we have volunteers ready to help. We can host up to 10 people per session, and it’s a wonderful way to share your culture while contributing to the event.
If you have a family favourite recipe that fits the brief, please reach out to Maryanne at president@ishspandc.org.au before 15 March 2026.
