‘Kathashaala- The Moral Story Time’ served as a great medium to pass on the invaluable treasure of moral values to the children as they listened each story with interest and shared their opinions and the message conveyed through the story.

To foster an interest in culinary arts while introducing students to a fun- filled, hands-on approach to food, ‘Culinary Extravaganza’ was organised wherein the little chefs prepared and served their delectable creations with warm hospitality.

In order to make the students revise and strengthen the mathematical tables, ‘Maths Buzz’ was conducted wherein the student volunteers from class VI & VII came up with interesting Math Games for the students of class III to V in their respective classrooms.
