On Wednesday 14 December, ACG Jakarta hosted it's second International Arts Evening for the first time on its' very own campus near the new Primary Classrooms. The area was splendidly decorated for the festive holiday season and the Parent Support Group made refreshments available to suit the occasion.

The Arts Evening is a showcase of learning experiences and talent of ACG Jakarta, and families even enjoyed viewing the numerous entries for the Jati Arts Exhibition which were on display around the performing area. 

The students presented an array of international performances which included a variety of dance, song, poetry and instrumental routines. The highlight of the evening was the whole school coming together to sing 'Can You Feel It' which received a rousing ovation from the audience.

During the International Arts Evening a great highlight was the traditional Indonesian Saman Dance from the Aceh district performed by our very own Indonesian Staff members. We felt very proud of their cultural heritage on display. The Year 1 and 2 students melted our hearts with their dramatisation of ‘The Little Fir Tree’ which created a warm Christmas spirit. Secondary students were also featured throughout the evening and impressed everyone with their Blue Screen Video project and the finale rendition with the Secondary Band of “I’m Yours” sung by our very own Ms Carla and Mr Oscar.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and were amazed at the depth of talent we have in such a small school. Will the International Arts Evening now become an annual event?
