energy, creativity, and self-expression as students and teachers gathered for NGOPI

the Daydream Festival 2026” the entire event was spearheaded and
organized by the talented Grade 8 students. Designed as a platform for growth
and collaboration, the festival proved that optimizing one’s potential can be
both deeply enriching and wildly entertaining.
The day kicked
off with an intense preparation session from 10:20 to 11:30, during which Grade
8 teams diligently set up equipment, arranged stalls, and ran final technical
checks. By the time the main festival opened at 13:00, the atmosphere was
electric. What made the afternoon particularly memorable was the playful dress
code: instead of standard school uniforms, everyone arrived wearing cozy
pajamas and sleepwear. From colorful onesies to classic flannel sets, the
whimsical attire set a relaxed, joyful tone that encouraged students to step
out of their comfort zones.
