At SGS, some traditions carry with them the magic of time, memory, and joy. One of those cherished traditions is our Autumn Parade — a celebration that has been part of our community for generations. In fact, many of us who are now part of the teaching team remember joyfully marching in this parade when we were students ourselves.

Our Infant and Primary (1st – 4th) Years students came together to bring this tradition to life once again. The air was filled with excitement as our learners proudly wore their costumes, embodying characters from their favorite stories, animals, and imaginative worlds. Dressing up is much more than just fun, it allows children to explore identity, creativity, and social interaction through role play. It gives them the confidence to express themselves and step into new perspectives, which are essential elements of development.

Although the week had brought us unpredictable weather, the skies smiled upon us just in time, and we were able to hold our parade, even if in a different venue than planned. The joy was unmistakable: children laughed, teachers cheered, and families waved and clapped proudly. Students from other grades joined in to watch and applaud, filling the atmosphere with warmth and a true sense of community. Teachers demonstrated their limitless creativity and imagination wearing amazing costumes as well. Kudos to the teachers!

Moments like these remind us that school is not only about academics, but also about belonging, celebration, and shared experiences. Our Autumn Parade continues to be a beautiful reflection of who we are as a community, creative, connected, and full of heart.
