Engaging activities included storytelling sessions for Grades 1 and 2, a Story Writing Competition for Grades 1–4, reading challenges and comic-strip presentations for Grades 5–8, and an impressive Grade 8 Book Talk, where students confidently shared insights on their chosen books.
At the closing ceremony, top readers were honoured. First-place winners included Iniya Singara Karthickeyan (Grade 1), Hyra Safdar (Grade 2), Iniya Bassam (Grade 3), Wafiya Kalungathan Ahamed Abdul Lathif (Grade 4), Nasha Hasan (Grade 6), and Leen Fatemfadila Mohamed Farook (Grade 7).
