On February 14, 2019, Class XII Science had their farewell. Class XI (Sci & Com) students got down to work quite meticulously soon after their final exam (completed on 11th Feb) for the ‘D’ day. The dress code for the day was Formals. Teachers teaching in classes IX to XII were invited for the function. By 2:00p.m. students dressed in formals arrived and were busy among themselves helping each other in giving the finishing touches to their makeup. Before lighting the customary earthen lamps of knowledge by each of the students and placing them before the idol of the goddess and bowed down to take blessings from all the teachers. The students gifted a 46 inches long & 9.5 kg brass lamp as a souvenir to the school. The program started with speeches both by the Principal & the Senior Coordinator, who also happen to be their class teacher. The Principal wished her very best to all the students & enumerated a few tips that would be helpful to the students for the forth coming exam. She even offered her helping hand as and when required in their future life. She told her students to be the ambassadors of their alma mater & with their disposition & conduct raise the reputation of the school. This was followed by the distribution of their admit card, a handout consisting of handy tips for effective preparation & a chocolate.
The class teacher Ms. Kalpana Unnikrishnan was overwhelmed with emotions as she started talking about each of her students. She narrated their peculiar mannerism & behavior of her students for whom she had been the class teacher in both class X & XII. Many of the details left many present into peals of laughter. Then a few more teachers who had taught them shared their experiences. Then the game of dumdsharad, a dance performance by class XI students & the ramp walk by class XII followed. A few questions were posed to them as ‘What makes their school unique?’, ‘What is more important, external or internal beauty?’ etc . Two of the class XII graders, Master. Jigar Sheth (Head boy) & Kumari Anushree Nair were adjudged as Mr. Podar & Ms. Podar based on their performance on the confidence & their response to the questions. They were adorned each with a sashe with Mr Podar and Ms Podar written in golden letters and a crown (for Mr Podar) and a pretty tiara (for Ms Podar) by the Principal ma’am. The function ended with light refreshment, dance by all & a photo session.
