Mogul Dr Sudhir Ruparelia on Saturday joined pupils, teachers and parents at Kampala Parents’ School (KPS) for the school’s Cultural Day celebrations.
KPS marked the close of the second term with a vibrant Culture & Future Day that celebrated Uganda’s rich diversity and global connections. The event brought together pupils in a colourful showcase of heritage, music, dance and tradition drawn from every corner of the country and beyond.
Representations of cultures from Uganda’s Central, Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern regions stood alongside East African and international displays. Pupils performed traditional dances, showcased regional attire, and shared stories that highlighted both local identity and openness to the wider world. The atmosphere was one of unity in diversity, with the school grounds transformed into a living exhibition of heritage and forward-looking spirit.
Organisers and parents praised the school for going the extra mile to ensure every culture was beautifully represented.
The day underscored KPS’s commitment to teaching children to value their roots while embracing the global community around them. “This is the true meaning of the school motto: ‘We Struggle for the Future,’” noted one parent in a widely shared reflection on the event attended by KPS proprietor, Consul Sudhir Ruparelia.
The colourful event, held as the school closed for the second term, provided an opportunity for pupils to showcase and celebrate Uganda’s diverse cultures and heritage.
Pupils proudly presented different cultural traditions, highlighting the importance of preserving and appreciating the country’s rich cultural diversity from an early age.
The celebrations also gave the school community an opportunity to reflect on the role of education in nurturing children who appreciate their heritage while embracing diversity.
Kampala Parents’ School commended the pupils, parents and staff for making the Cultural Day a success, noting that such activities help children understand and take pride in their cultural heritage.
The school said it remains committed to creating an environment where pupils can learn, grow and celebrate the diversity that makes Uganda unique.
