Concert & Graduation 2013

Our theme this year was Tadika Astana Goes International - the children presented  dances and songs from different countries around the world.   Each performance was heralded with the flag of the country,  with a very brief introduction of the country; but we had to scrap this (brief intro)  due to a number of reasons.

Thank you to all our parents who have cooperated with us and helped in various ways to make this event a memorable and wonderful one!

Our MC, Encik Zuraimie b. Bulee , father of Danaia Hazmie (J2) and Damia Hazmie (J3).

Welcome speech by Azfar Hadif b. Azhar and recitation of Opening Doa by Hazmie b. Zamri , both of  Junior 3.

Our audience, parents, grandparents and other members of the family.  We had set up 60 tables with 10 persons per table, and there were obvious additions at some tables.  We were glad that every one has a seat and was able to enjoy the show, and no obstructions!    Thank you for your cooperation !
