Students in a Dubai school welcomed the colourful season of spring with music, songs and dance. Gems Legacy School and Malhaar Centre for Performing Arts have started a new initiative to celebrate sustainability with Vasant Utsav - spring Festival.

The first edition of this initiative was celebrated on Monday (March 13) morning at the school's Garhoud, Dubai campus. Students put up a stunning performance keeping the 'spring theme' in mind.

“At Gems Legacy School, sustainability is the way of life and Vasant or spring means new season, new life, and new beginnings. Vasant Utsav is about celebrating Mother Earth and showing our gratitude towards her through music and dance,” said Asha Alexander- Principal and Executive Leader Climate Change, Gems Education, Gems Legacy School.

“Traditionally, on this day teachers and students greet each other with flowers and colours and celebrate the day with music and dance.
