Wishes took flight and stars aligned in a dazzling celebration of dreams as the Grade 7 students of Saint Joseph College brought the magic of Disney to life in their musical showcase, โ€œWish Upon a Star.โ€ Hosted by the ever-charismatic Zhamcey M. Canta and Rhian Mae S. Grullo, the afternoon unfolded like a storybookโ€”each chapter brought to life with passion, music, and wonder.

The audience was swept into the colorful celebration of family and remembrance through Coco, masterfully performed by the students of Saint Anne. The tide then turned to the empowering voyage of Moana, as Saint Agatha delivered a heartfelt journey of self-discovery.
