Our Vice-Principal, Supervisor, members of the staff and students warmly welcomed our Chief Guests Mr. & Mrs. Shetty & Mr. & Mrs. Kadam, the parents of our SSC toppers for the year 2015-16.

To commemorate the sovereignty of our nation, the Chief Guests unfurled the tricolor flag and all present there, stood in attention, singing the National Anthem in unison. Mrs. Shetty & Mrs. Kadam shared their views on the significance of the day. The senior students enthralled everyone with their well spoken speeches in Hindi, Marathi & English.
