Family Festival
East Campus
Saturday, 22 February 2025
The UWCSEA East Family Festival, organised by the Parents' Association, brought together over 2,500 family members for a day of community, fun, and festivities!
We enjoyed all kinds of activities, from exciting rides and games to discovering new treasures at the PA Bazaar and picking out books at the PACE Book Fair. The multicultural food stalls served up delicious treats, and the Global Concerns Fair gave us a chance to learn about amazing student-led initiatives. To top it all off, the live performances brought so much energy and fun!

PA Bazaar
Featuring over 30 vendors , the PA Bazaar offered a diverse range of products, including handmade jewellery, clothing, crafts, delicious snacks, and services. From unique, one-of-a-kind items to tasty treats and everything in between, there was something for everyone to explore, shop, and take a break from the sunny weather outdoors!
PACE Book Fair
The PACE Book Fair at the Junior School Teacher’s Lounge had a fantastic selection of books, from picture books to classics and young adult fiction. The books found new homes, and all proceeds went to support PACE charities, leaving many with smiles and their next great read!
Global Concerns Fair
At UWCSEA, Global Concerns (GCs) are student-led Service groups that collaborate with grassroots NGOs to raise awareness and funds for various environmental and humanitarian causes. Our students organised a wide range of games and activities for families to enjoy, with all proceeds going to their Service partners.
The GC groups that took part in this initiative included Blue Dragon, MS Blue Dragon, Daraja, Epic Arts, Gili Eco Trust, Goonj, Green Umbrella, I-India, JAAGO, Jakarta Streets Kids, Kampot Khmer, SurfAid, Tiger Watch, Try 4 Cambodia, and Voices With Refugees.
Live Performances
We had an exciting lineup of live performances that brought energy to Family Festival! The day kicked off with a warm welcome from Nidhi, Chairperson of PA, followed by an opening address from Cathy, Head of UWCSEA East.
The stage then came alive with music performances, a vibrant Kahaani dance, and a dynamic flash mob led by parent volunteer Sneha. The festivities wrapped up with a colourful Flag Parade, with student DJ T closing the programme on a high note!
