Education is a sacred process that thrives on the collaborative efforts of students, teachers, and parents. To ensure the smooth progression of educational activities, it is essential to foster optimal collaboration among these three groups. As part of our commitment to this unity, we organized a parent-teacher interaction session for the parents of students in Classes 3 to 10.

To ensure maximum participation and efficient organization, we allotted separate dates and time slots for different classes. Additionally, we arranged a special session for parents led by the organizers of the Better Life Project and counsellors from TREDA.

The session proved to be fruitful, serving as a platform for parents to receive answers to their common queries and for teachers to communicate their general concerns.

The Pre-primary students were engaged with an engrossing Show N Tell competition. The objective of this event was to encourage the tiny tots to ameliorate their verbal expertise and to stimulate oratory skills.

The students were jubilant to ‘show’ and ‘tell’ about their favourite toy or any object and it was a sure success to boost their self – confidence and to fend off their inhibitions to face a crowd. The participation of our young ones aided them to let their imaginations unfold without any curtailments.
