Zanook Fest Songkran

Zanook, the annual student-run event, was very successful this year. This event is held with the intention of enabling clubs to raise money for their relevant causes. Students and teachers all the way from the EYP to the DP had a wonderful time with their friends and family. This year’s festival consisted of a wide variety of booths from High School Clubs and the MSSG selling different types of delicious food and snacks. The event also saw outstanding stage performances, with students ranging from Grade 6 to 12, as well as teachers showing their exceptional talents to the school. There were diverse types of quality performances, ranging from full band dances, to duet singing.

What led to a successful event were the people who worked behind the scenes. Everyone who contributed to the Zanook team showed initiative and dedication to help out in this student-led event. The teams were split into four: stage, booths, finance, and media. The media team showed their creativity skills by making the posters unique and displaying the characteristics of Zanook. The booths team also showed their outstanding organization and management skills by gathering clubs to come to fund fundraising booths, contacting the clubs and setting up the layout booth. Unfortunately, due to a sudden heat wave the school experienced during the days leading up to the festival, to ensure everyone’s safety, we had to move the festival from the school’s blue court to P501. Even with this unplanned obstacle, the booths team

was able to redesign the layout at the last minute, which demonstrated their adaptability. The finance team showed their communication and analytical skills by communicating with the sellers and by managing and distributing the earned revenue. And, the stage team, whose job was managing all the performances, including quality controls, scheduling the soundcheck for bands and the actual performance time slots. All teams displayed a great use of time management and organization skills. Overall every team showed great cooperation with one another which ultimately created a lot of wonderful memories for our community for many years to come.
