Raza Annual Concert – A Remarkable Showcase

Many were eagerly waiting for Raza Annual Concert, needless to say, it all went beyond expectations. The students of PYP and secondary schools once again proved their talent right from the lighting and the camera to the vote of thanks done. This exceptional event has etched itself into the history of Oakridge, making it truly unforgettable.

The nursery field trip at Air Force Headquarters was sensitized on historical issues like the 1971 Karachi attack. From such stories and imagery, they learned of the courage of the Air Force and the aspect of togetherness in the time of adversity. The use of information kiosks and creativity kept them fully engaged with an understanding and curiosity of aviation promoting ideas of flying. The staff was particularly welcoming, making certain it was full of fun, and better still the kids went around informed.
