30-10-2021
“We are born unique. We all have different talents and abilities. We don’t have to always follow in the footsteps of others. We have a responsibility to develop the talents we have been blessed with.”
Presidium always strives to nurture the inherent potential that every student has. With the same spirit, a virtual platform was given to students to showcase their entertainment skills through a Talent Hunt Competition. Students of the Junior Wing exhibited various skills from dance to drama, song and speech, to magic and many more. Each participant had two minutes to showcase their talent. All the participants took the audience into their spell through their truly creative and enchanting acts. Kids prosper best with a broad curriculum that celebrates their various talents, not just a small range of them. Events like these not only help the participating students to show their abilities but also motivate other students to come upfront and show their hidden potential.
