The School Weekly 25th September 2023

News & Events
Third week of September has been the week with academic upheaval and Half Yearly’s approach but our sports enthusiasts have been juggling with State/ District Sports and Studies. The week closed by visitors from Australia, UK (United Kingdom) and Dehradun adding a global perspective to the school’s environment.
We had our Alumni Mr. Vishnu Patel, from the batch of 2003. Vishnu, who has established a successful business in Australia, took the time to revisit our school and reconnect with our community.  His visit was very meaningful and inspiring experience for both the school and it’s current students. It’s heartwarming to see alumni returning to share their success stories and provide valuable insights. These interactions can have lasting impact on students’ motivation and aspirations.
During his visit, Vishnu expressed his profound gratitude to the school for its role in shaping his future. He shared valuable insights and experiences with our current students, inspiring them with his journey.
What is particularly heartening is Vishnu expressed desire to give back to the institution that played a pivotal role in his life. He has initiated his support by generously contributing towards installation of smart boards in our senior classes as a meaningful starting point to enhance the educational experience of our students. 

We also had Sue, visiting from the UK to gain insights into the Indian Education System, particularly in the rural parts of India.
