Performing Arts in Cultural Week
On Friday 16 May, with another beautiful autumn day on our side, students from the Middle and Senior School shared their talents for an excited and passionate audience as part of the Cultural Week celebrations at the Woodlea Campus.
Opening the concert were Trishnoor Band Jazzmeen S, who performed a Bhangra style dance to rapturous applause!
Following their performance, we heard from Saketh M performing an interactive vocal piece from a well-known south Indian movie.
The Woodlea Dance Ensemble made their debut with a Bollywood mash-up, whilst Shanaya B performed a self-choreographed Bollywood dance.
Vivaansh K, a lead in the upcoming Mary Poppins musical, and Year 9 & 10 Performing Arts student, Jasmine K, sang a beautiful vocal duo together, and to complete the suite of inspiring acts, was Year 11 student, Ashvika B, who performed an Indian folk dance.
It is safe to say the chessboard in the Middle School area was well and truly transformed into an energetic and festive event and the Performing Arts team cannot wait to continue this new tradition in 2026.

Junior School Students perform in Cultural Week
A special highlight of Cultural Week was the incredible talent showcased by our Junior School students. During recess performances coordinated by the Music Department, students took to the stage to share their cultural pride and musical abilities. Audiences were treated to a beautiful guitar solo, a vibrant cultural dance full of energy and tradition, and a moving vocal duet that captured the spirit of celebration. These performances not only entertained but also reminded us of the power of music and dance in bringing people together across cultures.
