In the closing days of 2025, Primary and Middle School students, parents, and teachers at Olympia gathered for a warm celebration that gently dispelled the chill of winter. The Olympia Winter Festival 2025, themed “The Bond of Love,” aimed to honor the connections between students, parents, and the school—bonds built on sharing, care, and companionship, and strengthened into a powerful sense of community. The festival not only provided a winter-themed experiential space but also offered opportunities for students to apply their learning in real-life contexts, foster creativity, develop collaboration skills, and cultivate a sense of social responsibility. Through each activity, the program conveyed a clear message: when love is shared, winter becomes warmer, and the community grows more connected than ever.
