School also provides a suitable platform for various co-curricular activities for all the round development of each and every child’s personality.
Co-Curricular Activities
While academics provide knowledge of various subjects, aptitude, attitude and integrity are some of the virtues that students acquire through Inter House competitions. The students are divided into four houses and during their schooling years the qualities of honesty, trust, leadership, co-operation, team spirit, risk taking, tolerance etc. are imbibed in them. Various activities are organised in the school to give ample scope to exploit the innate talent in the students to emerge and flourish. The children have the freedom to choose the activity of their liking and channelize their creative ideas to develop their latent skills.
