announced, the nominated students rendered speeches during the morning assembly
to acquaint the other students about their capabilities and the need to vote
for them.
Elections were
subsequently held all the students of Classes VI – X were very enthusiastic and
particular about casting their votes for the Head Boy, Head Girl, Captains and
Vice – captains of the four houses – Carnation, Daffodil, Marigold and Tulip. Niranjan
Muralidharan and Deeksha Pandey were declared the Head Boy and Head Girl
respectively of the senior section. Nikhil

section. To emphasise the importance of discipline and to inculcate the spirit
of sportsmanship, two students from the Class X were also declared for the
posts ‘Sports Captain’ and ‘Discipline In charge’.

was held on 13/7/ 2013 in the school campus. The Chief Guest of the occasion was Mr. Musa Bin Ibrahim,
Additional Commandant, Special Police, Amberpet. In her welcome address, the
Principal Ms. Mona Mehdi stressed on the importance of ‘grooming’ children as
leaders from the school level itself. The Chief Guest Mr Musa Bin Ibrahim gave
an inspiring speech; he described the relevance of responsibility and being

responsibility and keeping in mind the school’s motto – Learning to Lead.
