More Than a Graduation — A Memory for Life

Our 2026 Graduation Ceremony is one of Tadika Ceria Bistari’s most important celebrations of the year. It honours the children who have grown, explored, learned and built friendships with us — and marks the beginning of their next journey.

今年的毕业盛典不仅是颁发毕业证书的一晚,更是一场属于孩子、家长与老师共同珍藏的成长纪念。

2026 THEME

Zheng He × Nyonya Baba
A Journey of Cultural Encounter

The 2026 theme travels back to 15th-century Melaka — a thriving port where different peoples, languages and traditions met. The story draws inspiration from Zheng He’s voyages, old Melaka, maritime adventure and the cultural exchange that later shaped the unique Nyonya Baba heritage.

Why this theme? Because graduation is also a journey: children leave a familiar harbour, carry courage and curiosity with them, meet new people and ideas, and learn that confidence grows through cooperation, respect and cultural understanding.

舞台故事将“郑和下西洋、古马六甲、文化交汇”化成孩子能够理解的冒险旅程:面对未知、彼此帮助、勇敢前行,并在不同文化相遇中学会尊重与团结。

CULTURAL DETAILS

Dress, Heritage & Visual Language

Baba & Nyonya Inspiration

Parents are encouraged to join the atmosphere with elegant Baba / Nyonya-inspired attire where suitable. The visual direction celebrates Peranakan heritage without turning the event into a costume party.

Historical Chinese Elements

For the Zheng He side of the story, styling is inspired by Ming-era official and maritime aesthetics rather than modern qipao. This keeps the cultural direction closer to the historical period.
