Buma Baolo School in West Kwaio, Malaita Province, staged its first-ever cultural day on Thursday, June 18, 2026.
The event was celebrated under the theme “Promoting and Empowering Our Cultural Identity,”.
A member of the school staff, Madam Danialla Geli, said the event was organised for both primary and secondary school students.
She said the event was organised to revive lost cultural heritage and values and to teach the new generation about the importance of culture.
Geli said the event will also provide broader knowledge and experience to the students, as they have learned many things in theory in their social studies class.
“This is the first time we have organised this event, and it is hosted mainly for our students in both primary and secondary sectors to see and understand how important culture is.
“It is not only for students to see, but it will also help them understand culture when they learn in their social studies subject,” she said.
She mentioned that the event attracted students and many different people, including parents, guardians, guests, and stakeholders.
Geli said the students enjoyed the event and performed various traditional chants and cultural activities.
She said they plan to organise the event annually.
This paper understands that many schools in the country have hosted the same event as they try to build and balance students’ knowledge of their cultural backgrounds and what they learn about from around the world.
