ELFA Graduation 2022

The concert programme combined drama, storytelling, speech & drama. Taken inspiration from Sima Guang, a distinguished Chinese historian and statesman, famed for rescuing a playmate who was drowning in a large water vat by smashing the vessel with a rock. A Chinese fable symbolising quick wit and bold action was conceptualised as the event's theme – 'A New Hope: Encouraging Breakthroughs'.

The first celebration since the ease of pandemic restrictions was joined by some 200 parents and families at the RELC Auditorium in Orchard. The art direction focused on the children exploring new ways to adapt into the changing environment with vigour, gathering knowledge richly-infused with Chinese cultures.

Illustrations are adapted into banners and icons across online platforms.
