CKS College Southmont brought its academic community together on the 21st of October for a vibrant United Nations Day 2026 celebration, centered on the unifying theme, “Children of the World: Growing in Peace and Friendship.” Opening the day’s activities, Vice President Luzviminda Sim delivered an inspiring message emphasizing that academic achievement must be paired with empathy, harmony, and mutual respect to prepare young learners for a complex global landscape.

The morning showcases featured dynamic cultural performances from the youngest learners. Montessori students took the stage with a colorful repertoire of traditional international works, including a “Tibetan Dance,” the French classic “Alouette, Gentille,” “K’naan’s Flag,” and Brazil’s “Samba Lele,” while Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten pupils joined together for a moving choral performance of “Sing Peace Around the World.” The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) students expanded on these themes through expressive performance arts; Grade 1 pupils performed vocal renditions of “Yesterday’s Dream” and “We Are the World,” Grade 2 delivered a speech choir interpretation of “I Have a Dream for One World,” Grade 3 staged a reader’s theatre presentation, and the IB PYP Chorale Club performed the traditional West African greeting song “Funga Alafia.”
Demonstrating higher-level inquiry and real-world advocacy, the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) Grade 6 cohort adopted a broadcast-journalism format to present a simulated news report on climate change and conservation challenges in Australia and Oceania. Their research-driven presentation bridged classroom learning with active environmental stewardship. A major highlight of the event was the announcement of the “Doors of the World” competition honors, which recognized classrooms for outstanding thematic expression:PYP Grade 1A received the “Green Innovators Award,” PYP Grade 1B earned the “Mirror of Culture Award,” PYP Grade 2A won the “Creative Minds Award,” and PYP Grade 3A took home the “Global Awareness Award,” while the MYP Grade 6 class was honored with the “Spirit of Unity Award” for their overall excellence in promoting global solidarity and environmental action.
