Principal’s Pen
At Sri Sri Academy, School Assemblies are like a
Celebration. Children and Teachers decide on a theme
related to important Values of Life for the Assembly
assigned to them.
The team works on it over weeks and when their turn
arrives, it is well depicted through music, skits, power
points et al.
News reading related to school, city, nation and world
is a vital part of each School Assembly.
