Buckland Arts is an annual competition in the culture space at Peterhouse Girls. It allows the girls to display creativity and innovation through a range of mostly cultural activities like Art, Photography, Dรฉcor, Flower Arrangement, Design, Music, Dance, Recitation, Cookery, Information Technology and Installation. This yearโs theme, โCelebrating Cultural Mosaic,โ invited the girls to engage in a holistic exploration of the rich tapestry of global cultures. The girls were able to recognise, promote, embrace, honour and above all celebrate not only the unique but diverse cultures in the world today.
The competition was a resounding success, concluding with a display of the best pieces from the various categories, as well as two entertaining concerts. Well done girls!
