Year 1 CAS Project: A Celebration of Ramadan and Holi
On May 9th, Year 1 students hosted a vibrant CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) event celebrating the cultural richness of Ramadan and Holi; two meaningful festivals of Muslim and Hindu.
The event began at 4 PM with an insightful student-led presentation explaining the traditions and spiritual significance of each festival, followed by a delicious spread of traditional food, Ramadan dishes prepared by the Pakistani teacher and colorful Holi treats from the Indian teacher.
Around 60–70 students, including some from junior high, enjoyed the celebration, which featured a lively Holi color play experience as well. The evening ended on a high note, with students leaving more connected, culturally enriched, and eager for future events that celebrate global traditions.
