ENGLISH WEEK

Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.

The school celebrated English Week – Reflections, from September 9 to 12, 2024, featuring a range of activities designed to foster linguistic proficiency and ignite creativity among students from Classes IX to XII.

The week began with a global activity organized by the Literary Club, where students in classes IX and X wrote articles on topics such as Climate Crisis: Can We Still Save the Planet? and The Power of Mindfulness. Meanwhile, students in Classes XI and XII engaged in blog writing on themes including The Power of Empathy and Joyfulness is a Choice, reflecting their deep engagement with contemporary issues.

On September 10, an Inter-Class debate contest was conducted for classes IX and X on topics like Large Population: Is it a Cause of Poverty or an Asset? and Can Technology Save Nature? With 22 teams participating, the event showcased students’ oratory skills and critical thinking abilities, culminating in a rebuttal round. The judges were impressed by the enthusiasm and conviction of our young orators.
