The fiesta, which was hosted by Olashore School is a yearly event which forms part of the activities marking AISEN’s decade anniversary.
President of the association, Ekuah Abudu, said the event aims to encourage the spirit of sportsmanship, high quality students and teach discipline.
She said: “It was also a means of fulfilling the association’s mission of fostering understanding, cooperation and mutual support among international schools within Nigeria.”
The Principal of the host school and member of the association’s board, Mr. Derek Smith, said: “It is a great way for the students to interact with students of other schools on a large scale and spend time together, share and exchange ideas and support each other while still demonstrating their sporting skills.”
AISEN Sports Coordinator, William Pope, said though the association has over 60 member-schools, it started with four.
