NEWS LETTER October 2015

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

We take immense pride in presenting

the first phase of the Voyager’s

journey for this year.

This year has been abuzz with

myriads of activities and special

programmes in the School Assembly.

Capturing these precious moments and

collating them has not been the easiest

of tasks. Besides write-ups that had

to be brief yet informative the frozen

moments needed to be fitted in.

I congratulate the entire team in

Sishya that has been behind this

presentation.

We are working with a theme-LOVE ALL –SERVE ALL. Though simple-

this theme encompasses a whole lot of

values and attitudes that we are

exploring through Bulletin Board

presentations and competitions under

SISHYOTSAV. We are sure our

young Sishyans will internalize these

precious explorations and expositions

and make them life-long learning.

HAPPY EXPLORATION WITH THE VOYAGER!!

There may be festivals celebrated

throughout the year, but for us

Sishyans, the Sishyotsav is the most

cherished and merrily celebrated of

them all. The festive season at Sishya

never seems to end from the colourful

Rangolis to the power packed music

and dance programmes. The school

provides a platform for the students

to turn their potential to performance.

Each year our school comes up with

powerful themes that not only form a

base for all the cultural programmes,

but also help us inculcate vital life

values. The theme for this year

(2015-16) is ‘Love all Serve all’.

Hats off to all the captains & office

bearers for having brought their teams

together to put up great shows

throughput the year and we wish them

good luck for all their future

endeavours
