Leman International School celebrated World Arts Day as part of their STEAM program, a day that the whole school community enjoyed a lot. The students took an active part in the celebrations and showed their creative and artistic side by collaboratively designing, creating and painting murals around the campus. It was an exciting event that brought together the Secondary students and teachers for a day of art, creativity, and fun.

Throughout the day, students from year 7 - 11 worked together in groups to create beautiful murals inspired by different aesthetically pleasing ideas. The murals were placed around the school, bringing colour and vibrancy to the campus environment. The students not only learned about the power of collaborative work, but they also developed their teamwork and communication skills while working on this collaborative project.

In addition to the mural project, the school also hosted a Global Campus Visual Arts Competition exhibition in the gallery space where the whole school participated. The theme of the exhibition was “SDG 4 - Quality Education,” and students submitted artwork that reflected their perspectives on the theme.
