School Event
Family Day Bazaar draws huge crowds
by Mr Pramod K.

Student entrepreneurship received a much-needed appreciation on a day when stalls selling food and games stole the limelight. The event, organized every year, gets better and better with students from various classes vying with each other to end up as ‘most successful businessmen’ at the end of the day. Their creativity took new heights this year and the result was a whopping 55 plus million rupiah profit.

The Principal, Mr. Ng Siah Heng declared the Bazaar open around 9 am and the crowds started to throng the stalls. The haunting ‘House of key’ drew more attention than any other stall did as both children and adults were equally curious to find out its interior mysteries. Some screamed while the more experienced boasted about their past experiences. All were equally thrilled.

As customers started strolling around the Multi Purpose Hall, they were greeted by young vendors offering Sate, Nasi Bogana and scores of other delicacies. From traditional Indonesian food items to the most exotic Western dishes were sold out on a busy day.

Book stalls and artifacts provided a variety to customers who found time to digest their food by perusing some volumes. The centre stage was active throughout the day with students bidding against each other to get a chance to splash teachers with water.

The theme of the Bazaar was ‘Ohana’, Hawaiian for ‘No one gets left behind’. It was a day dedicated to families and the concept of unity.
