Our most thrilling attraction this year that’s already causing a buzz is the photo opportunity with the giant Transformer character Bumble Bee” shared President of the PTA, Trisha Dullu.

The carnival is a fantastic platform for their talents and we are all looking forward to it” said Mrs Hannah Wells - Principal BSC, adding that though the carnival is an annual event of the school, due to the pandemic it could not be held for 3 years and that the students are eagerly looking forward to Frosty Fest this December.
