On August 17 and August 18 2017, the children of the Pre-School and Primary Sections, accompanied by their teachers, went on an excursion to India Gate. Excitement was in the air as the children prepared to leave for the day. Before leaving, the children were told about the monument they were going to see. They were told it was a memorial built in honour of Indian soldiers who died in the battles fought between 1914-1921.
At the memorial, the children were shown the Amar Jawan Jyoti ( flame of the immortal soldier) which burns in a shrine under the vast arch. The children looked up in awe at the names of the hundreds of brave Indian soldiers inscribed on the tall walls. The children were shown the three flags, signifying the three-armed forces of independent India. The teachers prompted the children to stand in a row and offer a smart salute in honour of these fearless men.

Happily exhausted, the children hungrily sat down to a welcome snack.
Finally, the children queued to board the bus to to head back to School.
