A team of ten enthusiastic students participated from our school in a series of four events, namely Rangoli Competition, Spellathon, Promo-Fomo and Tableaux.

The theme of the event was 150 years of Mahatma Gandhi. The event started with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp followed by a speech to remind us of him. The host school paid a tribute to Bapu with a song sung by their choir. Principal, Sister Stella then addressed the gathering to boost the morale of the young participants. The children were then told to proceed to the respective venues for their events.
