"Moments of Love & Creativity"

We are delighted to share glimpses of our Pre-Primary students participating in this year's Mother's Day Activity. The enthusiasm was truly heartwarming.

Each picture shows the students' hard work and creativity, as well as the love each child puts into their special Mother's Day craft. From collaborative projects to individual drawings, these masterpieces are a testament to the special bond we celebrate today.

Creating these keepsakes was full of joy, and we hope they bring smiles to the faces of all our wonderful St. John's Academy mothers.

A mother is not just a parent, she is a child’s first teacher, protector, and biggest supporter. ❤️

Wishing a heartfelt Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers who inspire unconditional love every day.

Our little Nursery class students took their first step into teamwork!
Students joyfully participated in their first group activity, where they coloured printed images together with their team members.
From sharing crayons to deciding which colours to use, it was a fun-filled experience that encouraged bonding, cooperation, and creativity!
