The annual Sports Day is a mega event to look forward to. The students put up an enthralling display of various skills and activities learnt during the year. The entire event is conducted by the students themselves under the able guidance of the P. E teachers.
The event is a balanced mix of fun, laughter, cheer, tension and a sense of competitiveness. The formal ceremony includes the guard of honour, March past of the four houses with the Police Band, unfurling of the flags, taking the Sports oath, lighting of the torch and unveiling of the mascot.
The informal ceremony has the element of laughter and cheer with fun races for students from Grade 1 to 4. These races bring together all the children, strengthen bonds with team mates and display of skills.
Each and every child from grade 1 to 4 gets an opportunity to showcase the skills acquired through drills, displays and of course, the fun races.
Students of the higher grades are introduced to a sense of competition by having the athletic races and team sports such as kho- kho, basketball, volley ball etc.
Cheering for the house mates, wanting one's house to be the first is coupled with a healthy respect for the opponents. Taking success and failure with a smile, good-natured ribbing are common scenes on that day.
Gymnastics, Yoga, Get, Set, Go, Tae kwon do, Kalaripayattu displays leave the parents awe-struck. A feeling of pride is evident in them when they see the diverse skills, acquired, honed and polished by the P.E team in a short span of time.
