Raffles World Academy (RWA) celebrated the 51st UAE National Day with a fun-packed day organised by the school’s Emirati parents, which was attended by over 2500 guests. A colourful souq, carnival and food stations serving traditional Emirati delicacies were the backdrop for the RWA community to celebrate the diversity and multicultural spirit of the UAE.
