Garden Party

The Garden Party was a wonderful celebration of talent, showcasing an array of captivating performances across Dance, Drama, Music and Language Arts. The event was a true testament to the spirit of community, with students performing with energy, creativity, and passion. It was equally inspiring to see the dedication of parents, whose ongoing support made the day such a success. Together, these performances reflected not only the girls’ love for the arts but also the strength of the community that surrounds and uplifts them.
