Independence Day Celebrations

The excitement of the upcoming 78th Independence celebrations was pulsating. Both the Primary and the Secondary Sections had meticulously planned the event.

For the Primary Section, the festivities began two days prior from 13th August by showcasing the spirit of unity that defined our Independence Day. Students dressed as national leaders and freedom fighters. The prayer service reflected the significance of freedom and unity and special prayers were offered for the brave soldiers who fought for independence, for our nation, its leaders and students too. The assembly was punctuated by the singing patriotic songs and hymns, including the national anthem.

The Board decoration was a delightful sight. The Tricolour Selfie Points attracted students to click photos fostering a sense of pride and also created a fun and interactive experience for everyone. A Tricolour rally was organized to commemorate Independence Day with students, teachers and community members enthusiastically carrying the national flag through the streets, chanting slogans and singing patriotic songs along the way. Onlookers joined in, by cheering and waving flags. Children enjoyed sharing their culture through dance fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our community.

On 15th August, the flag was hoisted at 8:00 am by our Chief Guest Inspector Balaji D. of the Andheri East police station. Speeches by students on our progressing nation and a house-wise Patriotic Singing Competition followed.

The day was filled with patriotic fervour, enthusiasm and a sense of national pride.

World Tobacco Day

The preparation for ‘World No Tobacco Day’ began a day prior on Monday 24th June with the organizing of Poster Competition. Some students also prepared Slogans for ‘World No Tobacco Day’. On the actual day Tuesday 25th June the assembly conducted revolved around creating awareness in the young minds about harmful effects of smoking / chewing tobacco.

In the course of the day, the students of Std. VIII along with their teachers stepped out of the school premises on a rally to the neighbouring vicinity to spread awareness on the hazards of tobacco. Marching on with vigour, displaying banners, they unreservedly shouted slogans ‘No Tobacco’ – ‘No Smoking’ and even interacted with few smokers along the road asking them to curb the habit.

We hope the effort and the message of the students, worked its meaning for many.

The competition was set for the junior and senior groups and based on performances in the ‘Indian Folk Dance’. The esteemed judges Mrs. Sushma Benegal Bane and Ms. Sudarshana More were welcomed by Principal with a sapling. The energetic performances by the students setting the stage on fire, clubbed with their colourful costumes was a sight for sore eyes. All performances were charged with rhythm, synchronization and lively enthusiasm which made it difficult for the judges to make a final decision.
