Class XII farewell party was organized by the XI class students under the supervision of their teacher. The Principal, Ms Preeta Pillai and her team of teachers were given invitations for the function. Besides each one of the students of class XII was given an invitation card for the party by their juniors. The students of class XII reached school at 11:30 a.m. decked in formals(the boys) and the girls in (saris). Their juniors had organized a grand send off. They had beautifully decorated the atelier with festoons and coloured balloons. The program started by lighting a lamp at the idol of Goddess kept at the reception by the Principal and praying for their well being and wishing them all the success to come out with flying colours in their Boards and in all their future undertakings. Then each of the students lit a small earthen lamp and prayed to the Almighty, and placed it around the main lamp. They even took a sweet from the offering made to the goddess. Then the students moved to the venue for the program. The honourable Principal, the co-ordinators, teachers, the school counsellor and the students of class XII were seated at the atelier.
The cultural program started with the Principal's speech wherein she expressed her feelings that it was indeed difficult to bid farewell to such duty bound students who as the senior most had been shouldering the responsibilities of many of the intra school activities. But as everything has to come to an end and as its time to venture into even more challenging tasks that would ease their way in becoming fruitful citizens of the future, she wished them a lot of success with a piece of advice that they now need to study in a focused manner setting proper time-table and complete the revision as many times as they can. She also advised them to adhere to the values of kindness, empathy and humanity and grow up into good human beings. On behalf of the Chairman she conveyed to the children his best wishes for a successful future , his message to them to be confident and focussed. She then distributed their Hall tickets with a page that carried notes as to ' how to cope up with examination stress and how to do the last minute revision'. Then the students presented a game where the class XII students participated actively, followed by a “Confidence-walk” by class XII students where Ms Podarite and Mr Podarite was to be chosen based on their confidence, grace and how they responded to the questions posed by the Principal. Kumari Meesha Sharma and Master Aditya Tiwari were chosen and were gifted with a sash each and a ceritificate. The students of class XI presented other programs like song, dance, games etc.
Soon after the cake cutting ceremony, the students expressed their gratitude by presenting the school with a Jumbo round -shaped clock as a souvenir to their school which will be soon their alma mater. The students of class XI presented each of the students with a small gift ( an idol of goddess of knowledge- Saraswati) wrapped in glittering wrappers. Then all the students and teachers had some light refreshment and left the school with heavy hearts.
Though there was sadness in the air, everyone put forth a cheerful countenance as they took leave of their teachers.
