Also in our midst were Revd.Prabhakar Malhan, the Secretary of the Delhi Diocese, Dr.A.D.Lyall, the Vice President of the Diocesan Education Board, and the clergy from Ambala, Yamuna Nagar, and Jagadhri.

Preparations for the Annual Christmas Function of the School

Preparations are on at full steam for the Annual Christmas Function of the School which will take place on the Thirteenth of December.We hope that the weather holds on, and that everything goes on smoothly. Ultimately, it is the level of preparation and the cooperation of all staff members that makes any programme a great success. The students have been working very hard, and their teachers too have been putting in a lot of effort. I wish I could name all the teachers for their hard work, but then it might not be taken kindly by those not named. The photographs given below tell a story which is of the moment as the practice took place.

Yes, it is their day, the children’s day, and what more than the fact that they should have fun while rehearsing for the Annual Christmas function!

Children’s Day-a glimpse of some activities in the school

14th. November was celebrated as Children’s Day. There was a special assembly on that day, and the students were reminded about how much Jawaharlal Nehru loved children, that Children’s Day is celebrated all over India on the occasion of the birthday of the former Prime Minister of India. The rest of the day was spent in various activities like a science exhibition, salad making, origami and card making, declamation and debates. I have given below some photographs taken on the occasion:

Sunil Singh, the Bishop of Delhi for his vision of the school as a centre of excellence, and Dr.A.D.Lyall for working so hard in making the vision come true, and Mr.Chauhan for working on the finer points. Today we have modern, up to date computer labs and a wonderful library where the readership is increasing in leaps and bounds. The hard work of the management and the vision of our Chairman have ensured that the school is second to none in the region. Without saying more, I have pasted below some photographs on the occasion:
