Our school’s recent Open Day was nothing short of a kaleidoscope of creativity and expression, as parents, local bodies, and community members gathered to witness the vibrant tapestry of talent woven by our students. The theme for this year’s event was “100 Languages of Children,” aiming to celebrate the diverse ways in which our young learners communicate, express, and create.
From the moment guests stepped onto the school grounds, they were immersed in a world of artistic wonder. Various activities were meticulously arranged to showcase our children’s ingenuity and flair for the arts. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as visitors marvelled at the multitude of exhibits and performances.
One of the highlights of the day was the showcase of our students’ artistic prowess. From doodle art to hala art, string art to truck art, and tye and dye to digital mandala art, every corner of the venue was adorned with masterpieces that reflected the unique perspectives of our budding artists. Each stroke of colour and each intricate design spoke volumes about the creativity thriving within our school community.
But the Open Day wasn’t just about admiring art; it was also an opportunity for our students to hone their entrepreneurial skills. Proudly displaying their crafts, including jewellery, scented candles, fabric-painted bags, frames, and decoration items, our young entrepreneurs greeted visitors with beaming smiles and unwavering confidence. It was inspiring to witness their passion and dedication to their craft.
In our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) room, visitors were treated to a display of our students’ eSTEAM projects. Young scientists showcased their ingenuity through engaging and mind-boggling coding and math games, leaving visitors amazed and inspired by their innovative creations.
Entertainment was also in full swing throughout the day, with a plethora of activities to engage and delight guests of all ages. The Crazy Hair Show elicited laughter and awe as students flaunted their wild and wacky hairstyles. The rhythmic beats of Sindhi dance reverberated through the air, captivating onlookers with its grace and energy. The Haunted House sent shivers down spines, while shadow puppetry cast enchanting tales against the walls. Outdoor games added a dash of adrenaline to the festivities, ensuring there was never a dull moment.
In addition to the vibrant displays and performances, our Open Day also offered invaluable opportunities for parents to engage and learn. Renowned experts in parenting and entrepreneurship, Samreen Junaid from SJ Holdings Enterprises, and Amna Imran, an early childhood education specialist, conducted insightful sessions aimed at empowering parents with valuable knowledge and skills.
