 News & Events 
 State Selections 
We celebrate the impressive achievements of Jaywardhan Singh (Class X), Anshuman Singh (Class XII), and Bhumika Ranawat (Class XII) in qualifying for the State Shooting Tournament. Their dedication and hard work are commendable, and we are proud to support them in this next challenge. Congratulations to our experienced guns as they represent our organization!
 Tournaments 
The Under 17 and Under 19 Boys' Volleyball Teams put in their best effort in the thrilling tournament. U17 made it to the pre-quarterfinals and U19 to the quarterfinals and both teams displayed incredible efforts, sportsmanship, and teamwork throughout the competition. Even though they didn't win, both team's experiences will undoubtedly serve as a valuable lesson in teamwork, motivating them to continue improving for success in future competitions.
The School's Under17 Girls' Volleyball Tournament displayed teamwork and unity as the team faced tough competition. Despite losing the match, the girls gave their best efforts, showcasing sportsmanship, determination, and passion throughout the match.
 Pre-Primary Section 
In the last week of September, we hosted PTM for Class 1. This was attended by 80% of the parents. This is more than the average of our previously conducted PTM. Such a hike shows that Parent-Teacher communication is getting stronger and more fluent. The rest of the school was conducted as usual. The "Play with the Shape" Activity was organized for students of Class LKG. Students participated actively. It was fun, interactive, and full of new concepts.

 Creativity and Innovation 
The session on Creativity and Innovation, conducted by Kris Stanec, was an enriching experience that focused on encouraging creative thinking in the classroom. A key takeaway was the importance of giving students the freedom to think and express their ideas in any form. Activities like the "Possibility Book" allowed participants to explore their creativity through drawing and open discussions, demonstrating how such tasks can help students think outside the box and share their unique perspectives. The exercise of playing with colors during the activity brought back memories of childhood when we were free to play, draw, and express ourselves without limitations.
Overall, the session emphasized the value of embracing everything with positivity, and appreciating whatever ideas or expressions come from students, whether they are new, unconventional, or unexpected. By creating a supportive environment where creativity is nurtured, educators can help students develop confidence and innovative thinking, transforming the classroom into a more dynamic and inclusive space for learning.

 Health and Wellness 
“Health is Wealth,” is a simple but powerful quote. Today’s fast life and shorter attention spans have led to our bodies being deprived of this wealth. Materialistic wealth often leads to blindness. The blindness of the mind is much more pernicious. It is time that we awaken ourselves and self-evaluate this situation. A healthy lifestyle leads to a productive one.

 Dogs 
 
The Dog is the best friend of Man. It is loyal and kind. We all have a profound fondness for the canines. Stories of the friendship of man and dog have been taught to us since childhood. The animal always seems to amaze me. It provides us with joy and love. Asks only for care. Many of us have a dog at home we love and care for. It really is God’s gift for us.

 Interview with Pooran Ramawat (Physics teacher) 
REPORTERS/RP - Mohita Solanki and Vijita Solanki
RP: How would you describe the school's culture and how has it evolved? 
PRT: As I have observed, there's a huge development in creativity as compared to other schools. Nature and its beauty have increased, we're having new achievements in sports and also development in the school infrastructure. 
RP: What message would you like to convey to current or future students?
PRT: Students should study well and treat their school like it's their own home, nevertheless they should not have any kind of fear or hesitation if they want to learn something new. You should start building up self-confidence and self-reliance, choosing a path is difficult, have patience and choose the right path wisely but mainly focus on your personality, and let people know how good you are. You will definitely light up your future if you are aware of the things or start implementing them in your life.

 Interview with Vanshika Singh Rajawat 
Reporters- Tamanna Solanki & Aaradhya Champawat
RP: What did the experience look like for a first-timer like you??
VSR: Firstly I would like to express my special thanks to my school as it allowed me to participate in tournaments. I felt really excited as a first-timer... Although we didn't have as many facilities there as we have at home. It was really nice as my bond with my classmates became stronger. 
RP: Any important lesson learned during the tournaments?? 
VSR: The most important lesson I learned during tournaments is that 'you should be grateful for what you have' as you cannot get every type of facility everywhere as we got there. There were no such facilities that we have at home. And secondly 'strength lies in unity' because though we lost the match there was no one to console us except our team. My team was my only strength then.
RP: Anything in particular that you found unusual when you participated? 
VSR: No there's no such thing that I found unusual there except the behaviour of the natives of that area.
