This year’s talent show was held on Thursday, 21 March 2013. The limelight event was organised and planned by the Student Council with a vision to encourage students to explore and express their hidden talents, to build up their creativity skill and self-confidence in the spirit of competition.
The show aimed to kindle and foster interest in art and culture among the youth who may over the years hone their talents. Besides this, it also helped the college to create more talents for future events.
This year a record number of 13 contestants wowed the audience who had gathered together in the auditorium. The Talent Show boasted more than sheer entertainment value. It required an enormous amount of time on the part of the Student Council Executive Committee to organise and hold auditions. It required great courage for many of the students. Just imagine a 1st grader stepping up to the microphone and sharing his talents with an audience of 40 in the college auditorium. It gave our audience the opportunity to support their college mates sincerely and generously.
