Before 2019 MIX Day, SHSID students made a video called N languages of I  love SHSID, in which several language representatives sent their appreciation to the school and presented the Multilanguage campus life.

It is the first year that World Languages group participated in the MIX Day. Multilingual performances were presented in the XMT Annex. Shows included a band performing Japanese songs, a Spanish singing of “Recuerdame”, and the French opera, Le Rouge et le Noir.
