Those looking forward to a bargain for items such as cameras, golf clubs, household electrical items, toys and even clothings can check out the charity jumble sale at the bazaar.

Prizes and attractive gifts await those who participate in challenges available at the games stalls. The stalls are manned by students and staff of the college. Those who who are brave enough can participate in fun-filled competitions such as the gladiator and ‘sumo wrestling’.

8TV will be there with their roving team, ready to give out prizes for fun games. Don’t miss performances by international students, 8TV stars and other artists as well as cheerleading stunts.
