Garden International School (GIS) lit up to celebrate Diwali - with an
explosion of dance, food and Indian culture.
GIS’s main hall was packed out on October 15 to celebrate Diwali, the annual
festival of light.
The event was made memorable thanks to some brilliant performers. The show
kicked off with a shadow puppet performance from the IB students, depicting
the story behind Diwali. After that there were some superb, breath-taking
dances from Primary students. After an interval, where tasty Indian snacks
were provided by the Friends of Garden PTA and Spice restaurant, the older
students took to the stage and stunned the audience with some outstanding
dances.
There were flashes of classic Bollywood and Indian pop stars as the students
performed hit songs such as “Tu Meri” by Vishal Dadlani, “Singham” by
Sukhwinder Singh and “Sheila Ki Jiwaani” by Sunidhi Chauhan and Vishal
Dadlani.
Many thanks to the parents who helped organise the events, the teachers and
GIS staff who made the hall look amazing and the students for preparing so
well to ensure another dynamite Diwali.
IB girls put on a great
performance.
Young GIS students looked
great - and danced excellently.
