What an amazing day we had at the Aspire International School Spring Fair 2025! A huge thank you to everyone who attended, performed, volunteered, donated, sang, danced, judged, cooked, splatted, and most importantly — helped us celebrate community, culture, and Spring! 🌼🌞
The sun was shining, the campus was buzzing, and the energy was nothing short of incredible. From colourful hats to joyful performances, the day truly showcased the spirit of Aspire.
A heartfelt thank you to our three guest artists who made the day even more special:
• 🎧 DJ Varela from Mudaki, who closed the fair with a high-energy set that had everyone dancing.
• 🎤 Isa Brito, whose emotional Fado performance moved us all.
• 🎸 Accompanied beautifully by Portuguese Guitarist Ricardo Martins and Viola de Fado by Ricardo Silva.
We were also blown away by the talented Isabella Robinson, who brought a fresh dose of pop favourites – and even performed one of her own original songs. What a star in the making! ⭐
The Spring Hat Competitions were full of creativity and flair! Huge congratulations to everyone who took part — the effort was evident, and the results were fabulous. A special shoutout to the teachers who made the Teacher Hat Parade absolutely hilarious and so fun to watch! 😂
Thanks also to our panel of patient and cheerful judges for taking time out to support the event (and for waiting in the sunshine 🌞)!
The paint splat station was a hit with our younger students — well done to our brave volunteers who got “splatted” for a good cause!
We were treated to an array of delicious international food, refreshing non-alcoholic caipirinhas, and lovely homemade treats. A big thank you to everyone who ran or contributed to the stalls!
Not only was the Spring Fair filled with joy and laughter, but it also helped raise funds to support:
• Our students and school community
• Local charitable causes, including our ongoing support for tree-planting initiatives in Almancil
It was particularly special to welcome visitors from the Associação Social Cultural de Almancil (ASCA). Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter reminded us how much these events mean beyond the school gates. 🥰
Finally, a huge thank you to Micaela Graça, whose vision, organisation, and leadership brought this event to life — and to every student, staff member, parent, and volunteer who helped set up, run, and enjoy the day.
You made it a day to remember. Until next year… 🌸
