It is that time of the year where students of various schools from around the country take part in the FM96 Tadra Kahani with Connect and Fijivillage.
Organizers Total Event Company Manager Loretta Jackson said nine schools have been confirmed for the much anticipated annual event.
The schools that are participating are defending champions Cathedral Secondary School, Suva Grammar School, Dilkusha Methodist High School, International School Suva, Blue Light Fiji, Lomary Secondary School, International School Nadi and the new comers this year are John Wesley College and Basden College.
Junior division champions from last year, International School Suva will be a guest performer.
Jackson said Tadra Kahani is about young people using creative arts, through dance and music to express strong messages about what affects them most and what is meaningful to them.
TFL Acting CEO Ivan Fong today presented the $30,000 sponsorship cheque to CFL Managing Director, William Parkinson.
Jackson said Tadra Kahani costs around $90,000 to produce and they are grateful for the support of Connect who have seen the value of the event for the young people.
Meanwhile, 18 year old Jisu Kim from International School Suva won the Tadra Kahani poster competition with the theme “The Rising Star - We are the Stars of the future”.
The nine schools were given $1,000 each to assist in their preparations today.
Tadra Kahani will be held at the Vodafone Arena on the 15th of next month.
