STUDENTS and teachers of St Joseph High School went all out to showcase their rich culture, diversity and energy as they celebrated 120 years of existence and Guyana’s 51st
anniversary of independence on Thursday.
The audience became quickly enraptured by non-stop blasts of cross-cultural presentations, humour, education and a host of other vibrant activities which included reflections of their time at the school by past students.
Decked out in an array of cultural attire, students and distinguished persons gathered to witness the event that featured dances, poems and songs.
The cultural dances and national songs did not fail to enthrall all those gathered in the auditorium as they swayed, laughed and rocked to the beat of African and tassa drums.
Most of the enthusiasm continued through the day with multi-cultural presentations.
Aside from the colourful aspect of the programme, students were edified by craft, posters and other creative pieces that were on display at the entrance to the school.
The event was the ninth of its kind, and every year the members of the school try to do something innovative to capture the eyes of students and to promote a balance between creativity and academics.
