The Kindergarten Department delighted the audience with a charming presentation, earning cheers and applause from the crowd. Their enthusiasm and creativity brought smiles to everyone’s faces and set the stage for the excitement that followed.

Raffle draws were held throughout the program, building excitement as participants eagerly waited for their numbers to be announced.

A Christmas Party will not be complete without fun games. The games included Gift Hunt, in which participants from each department enthusiastically searched for hidden treasures, and Human Christmas Tree, in which teams displayed their creativity and teamwork.

A sumptuous lunch perfectly ended a day of laughter, camaraderie, and celebration. The 2024 SIA Christmas Party was a memorable occasion, bringing everyone closer as they celebrated the true essence of Christmas.
