The excitement and anticipation for one of the most heart-warming events of the school year is here. As the school year comes to an end, Kinderland International Preschool @ Vietnam held its Graduation Ceremony cum Year-End Concert on 27 July 2024 at Hotel Majestic Saigon. This grand and sophisticated century-old hotel which has withstand the many changes in Saigon, added a grandeur feel to the graduation ceremony, making it even more memorable.

Our K2 showcased their musical talents that they have gained from Yamaha Junior Music Course through a simple music ensemble. The performance featured their skills on the keyboard and various percussion instruments such as cymbals, castanets, and triangles.

Besides musical talent, our young gymnasts brought us a different kind of performance as they display their gymnastic moves. They were specially trained for this performance by our enrichment partner JACPA. JACPA is Japan’s largest physical education provider for preschoolers. Through the training, our children have developed flexibility and confidence, moving with grace to the rhythm of the music.

In line with the theme, the different classes from Pre-Nursery to Kindergarten One performed an item each to celebrate the occasion. Our children sang, played musical instruments and danced to various popular songs, highlighting the various colours coming together in symphony. The performances were a testament to the hard work and dedication of the teachers and students, leaving the audience in awe.
