18th October is considered to be the Tie Day. It has been celebrated since 18th October 2003 when the Pula Amphitheatre was tied with a big red tie, a masterpiece installation by Mr Marijan Bušić. From 2008 the Tie Day has been declared as a special day to be celebrated in the Republic of Croatia.

A tie (from the French word 'croata') is considered to be an original Croatian product for which our homeland is known worldwide.

We marked this day as well at our school by wearing ties of different sizes and colours.

No matter how big or small we are, we wore our ties with great pride!
