Recognition Day-Primary

The prize of success is hard work, dedication and determination, that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the job at hand.

Recognition Day is the culmination of all the hard work put in by the students throughout the academic year. It is a milestone in the life of the achievers, when everyone gathers together and celebrates their success. In many ways it is the most important date in the academic calendar.

At our School, Recognition Day covers every aspect of learning, be it academics, co-curricular or sports. The purpose of the occasion is to recognise excellence in an environment that encourages positive outcomes for all the students in every sphere of learning. It also paves the way for the under-achievers to strive harder, thereby, lending a healthy atmosphere of competition amongst the students to endeavour to be better and the best.

The event was graced by Vice Chairperson, Dr. Nayana Goradia, Director Mr. Lal Raisinghani, Principal Ms. Tania Joshi, Head Teacher- Primary Ms. Neena Maini, Acting Vice-Principals Dr. Anu Singh and Ms. Navreet Shergill, Head Teacher-Pre-Primary Ms. Vineeta Roy, Head Teacher The Foundation School Ms. Susan Thomas, Vice-President PTA Ms. Shalini Sehgal, Secretary PTA Ms. Sangeeta Banerjee and Coordinator Citizenship Programme Ms. Sangeeta Aswani.
