Marking a significant milestone, this inaugural event brought together students from various GCM school campuses, parents, and educators for an evening of cultural celebration.
The event surpassed all expectations in terms of participation and enthusiasm, solidifying its status as a highlight on the GCM school calendar.
Attendees were treated to a night filled with surprises, interactive games, music and dancing.
