A colourful parade by the junior students officially opened the day’s activities, setting the stage for an engaging lineup of events aimed at promoting creativity, unity, and academic excellence.

Interactive segments such as “Who Sang It?”, “Finish the Lyrics”, “Question and Answer”, and the blindfold challenge were particularly engaging, encouraging teamwork, spontaneity, and fun among the students. Additional excitement was provided by the Best Friend Challenge and multiple rounds of senior and junior parades that showcased school spirit and unity.
