GIIS, Balestier organised a grand and exciting fancy dress competition on July 18, 2017 for Kindergarten and Primary 1 students. It was the most awaited event, as it is always a pleasure to see the children dressed up as different characters. The aim of this competition was to provide an amicable platform for the students to showcase their hidden talents and express themselves with mettle and confidence.

The theme for the fancy dress was ‘festivals around the world’. Total of 92 students from kindergarten and primary 1 participated in the event with enthusiasm and zeal. Parents were invited for the event and we got an overwhelming response from them too. They were amazed to see their kids participate enthusiastically. Global Indian International School sincerely thank all the parents, who attended the event to show their support and encouragement.

A wave of colours spread over the auditorium as students dressed in vibrant costumes criss-crossed over the stage, depicting various festivals and describing their unique aspects. Some key festivals represented were Ughadi, Chinese New Year, Ganesh festival, Diwali, Christmas and many more.

Departing from the tradition, two parents, Ms Bindhu Bhat and Ms Purvi Desai were invited to judge the event along with Ms Meera Rajeev Kumar & Ms Rajni Parasher.
