As a part of the academic program and prior to the closing for the winter break, Podar World School, Sherkhi celebrated ‘Halloween Party’ on 23rd December 2016 with a great fanfare and splendor. Keeping in mind the importance of the learning in 21st Century it is the need of the hour to train the young learners to be globally equipped. The celebration of Halloween has sensitized the learners towards a global culture. The celebration started with the assembly and a mesmerizing Christmas carol sung by the students. The students from Primary to Higher Secondary had cat walked with all the funky, scary and monstrous attire on the green lush ground of the school. A surprised panel of judges (Head Boy and Girl of the school) for Primary classes and the Middle, Secondary and Higher Secondary were judged by Ms. Siji John and Ms. Nehal Surti. It was a tough time for the judges to make the decision as every child had worn the best of the Halloween themed costumes dressed as vampire, witches on broomstick, Zombies and Draculas. The best part of the catwalk was when the enthusiastic and jovial Principal Ms. Preeta Pillai joined the children and catwalked on the ramp in her most gracious manner. Even teachers had a gala time posing for snaps, borrowing props from their children. From every two divisions three prizes were won by the students. Soon after the catwalk children had potluck party in their own classes.They brought various homemade delicacies which were shared and enjoyed by all in the class. It was icing on the cake when the students were greeted by Santa Claus with the best wishes for the Christmas and heralding the New Year. Simultaneously, students were taken class wise accompanied by their class teacher to the dark room where they enthusiastically danced to their hearts content.
