A Decade of Excellence: Celebrating 10 Years of Walnut School
Walnut School Carnival 2024-25
Walnut School’s 10th Annual Carnival: A Grand Success. The grand halls of our campuses came alive this January and February as Walnut School celebrated its milestone 10th Annual Carnival. Spanning across our three campuses – Shivane, Fursungi, and Wakad – the carnival showcased the extraordinary talents of over 3,000 students from Nursery to Standard 9.
Shivane Campus Spectacular (January 15-17, 2025)
Our flagship campus launched the carnival with three magnificent evenings of entertainment. The first session, beginning at 5:00 PM, featured our young stars from Nursery to Standard 4 presenting a delightful mix of dance, music, and theatrical performances. As twilight descended, our senior students from Standards 5 through 9 took the stage at 6:45 PM for the grand production “Swords of Sovereignty.”
The Shivane campus transformed into a cultural hub with two dedicated performance zones. Our open-air amphitheater provided the perfect backdrop for these performances, while the specially arranged seating ensured every parent got a clear view of their child’s moment in the spotlight. Parents could locate their children’s performance zones through our detailed campus map, making it easier to choose the ideal viewing spot.
