9月11日から15日まで、UISG中等教育学校は、生徒、教師、スタッフが手を携えて国際ドット・デーを祝い、鮮やかな色彩と芸術的熱気で活気づきました。学校のアトリウムはアートの楽園に変身し、私たちのコミュニティの限りない創造性と団結力を披露しました。 

International Dot Day, inspired by the book “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds, encourages individuals to embrace their creativity and make their mark on the world, much like the central character, Vashti, in the story. 

This year again, our Visual Arts teachers (Mr. Kharismana and Mr. Banomali) took this message to heart and organised a memorable event to celebrate International Dot Day 2023 at Utahloy. The preparations for this event were nothing short of meticulous. The group preparing the event consisted of dedicated student volunteers and teachers, who worked to set up the perfect canvas for the artistic endeavours that lay ahead. They carefully selected materials and transformed the atrium into an artist’s paradise. Every moment spent preparing for the event was a step towards fostering unity within our community. Students of all ages eagerly took part in the painting process, contributing their unique perspectives to the collective masterpiece, whether it was bold and colourful or subtle and intricate. Each dot painted represented a moment of self-expression, a mark of creativity, and a symbol of unity. Guided by the theme of “making your mark,” participants embraced the opportunity to leave their indelible impression on the canvas. It was a day when we truly made our mark on the world, one dot at a time. 

As we look back on this incredible event, we are reminded that creativity knows no bounds, serving as a shining example of how creativity and self-expression can flourish within our school community. With this year’s resounding success, we eagerly await next year’s celebration of creativity, unity, and self-expression.
