Thank you all for your continuous support of IFF throughout the years! It remains one of Brent’s most anticipated events, bringing families together for a truly unforgettable experience.

From the diverse international cuisine and warm camaraderie to reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, enjoying talented performances, and witnessing breathtaking fireworks—every aspect of the festival is a true celebration of Brent Pride.

A special thank you to our dedicated PTA, whose tireless efforts make this event a success year after year. You are amazing! Brent Pride!

Our Model United Nations students recently traveled to the United Nations International School Hanoi to participate in the UNIS MUN March 2025 conference, where they engaged thoughtfully with the theme: “What role can integrity play in balancing development and security priorities?”

They actively participated in debates, demonstrated strong leadership, and collaborated diligently with peers from other schools to develop meaningful solutions to global issues. We are immensely proud of their hard work and growth as global citizens, and we look forward to seeing them continue to shine in future MUN events.
