‘Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.’ That sounded so true when our knee-high Presidians from grade Nursery and Prep tied garish friendship bands on the wrist of their dear ones which included their classmates, teachers and helping staff. To cherish this sturdy bond, Presidium sector 31 organised a gala event on occasion of Friendship Day, which covered various fun activities and performances. The zenith of event was to hear real friendship tales from our little students which made us discern-' Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is slow ripening fruit.' 

“Acting is not about being someone different. It is finding similarity in what is apparently different, then finding 'myself' in there.”  These lines of Meryl Streep stood so true when Presidium witnessed it's students performing skits at the Inter Class Skit Competition. Theatre is one of the most inordinate art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is "to be a human". Our Presidians from grade 6 and 7, enacted personages and situations to escalate diverse issues and emotions which are very recurrent yet neglected  in our society. This emotional exercise left the audience bewitched. They kept eulogizing and encouraging the participants. "An ounce of behaviour is worth a pound of words", and that is what Presidium reflected today. In that time span of time, they strongly conveyed the social message and gave affirmation that Presidium is creating a 'future leaders'.

Presidium very proudly celebrated Kargil Vijay Diwas, the day of victory, to commemorate the contributions of the armed forces.

No one was unmarked by the delight of being a citizen of India. Presidians covenanted to venerate the freedom that we are blessed with due to the sacrifice of real heroes. Doubtlessly,  this saga of bravery, love for Motherland and sacrifice propelled our 'leaders of tomorrow' and it will keep spurring generations to come.

It was a colourful Wednesday for our kindergarten children as they participated in their first intra class drawing competition. Working with crayons and colours.

The finished products were amazing as the children had let their imagination run wild and create magic. It was indeed a very successful event and a memorable one too as all our children proudly displayed their work and posed happily.
