Our grammar school was buzzing with excitement this morning, first December, as Q1 students entered their cakes, pastries and cookies for the annual Bogota Bake‑Off Competition. From Double Choc Reindeer cookies to Red Velvet Christmas Cake to Delicate Chocolate Biscuits, the event was a showcase of creativity, teamwork, and delicious treats.

But this is not just about baking — it is about giving back. All proceeds from the competition will be donated to our partners in Bogotá, Colombia, supporting their educational projects and strengthening the bond between our communities.

The Bake‑Off is more than a contest; it is a celebration of generosity and global friendship. Every slice sold and every cake judged helps make a difference thousands of kilometers away.
