Diwali Celebrations and Cultural Fest

BGS Bloomfield High welcomes the festival of lights with our annual Diwali Celebrations and Cultural Fest — an afternoon of colour, creativity, joy, and togetherness that brings our entire school community together to celebrate one of India’s most beloved festivals.

The celebrations begin with a special assembly where students share the story and significance of Diwali — its roots in Indian mythology, its message of the triumph of light over darkness, and the ways different communities across India celebrate it. This is followed by a rangoli competition on the school grounds, open to teams of students from all classes. Prizes are awarded for the most creative and beautifully executed designs.

The cultural programme features classical and folk dance performances, devotional music, short skits on the theme of light and goodness, and a diya decoration display by students from Classes I to V. Our Art Club presents an exhibition of Diwali-themed artwork created by students throughout the week leading up to the event.

The afternoon concludes with a community lunch where families share traditional Diwali sweets and snacks. Students are encouraged to come in traditional Indian attire on this day. No crackers or fire-based items are permitted on campus in keeping with our commitment to environmental responsibility.
