SENIOR SCHOOL DAY 2011

The Annual Senior School Day programme was held on the 29th of August. The Chief Guest this year was Cmde. S. Shekhar (Retd). The Class 10 ICSE students began the programme with an invocation. This was followed by the emotional ‘Adieu’, four farewell songs rendered by the Class of 2012 as part of their last School Day programme.

Dr. Salim Thomas gave the Welcome Address and introduced the Chief Guest. Mrs. Omana Thomas presented the Principal’s Report, highlighting the achievements of the school and the students in the past year.

The toppers of the ICSE and ISC 2010 Board Exams were awarded prizes for their outstanding results in their subjects. The Chief Guest recalled his student days and reminded our students that they were privileged to study in Sishya.

The school play featured this year was a musical adaptation of Charles Dicken’s novel – Oliver Twist – the story of an orphan whose undaunted spirit saw him rise above the vicissitudes of life. The choir of 60 enlivened the play with their lively spirited songs. The live orchestra enhanced the magic of the evening. The cast did their parts admirably, singing and acting with great enjoyment. The dances were lovely and all the characters were so well made up that the whole play made for a very enjoyable experience.

JUNIOR SCHOOL DAY 2011

The Junior School Day was held on the 27th of August 2011. The programme began with an Invocation by the Junior School choir who sang, “Be thou my vision”. The Headmistress, Mrs. Shyamala Christopher then welcomed the gathering to an evening of song and dance.

The students of L.K.G presented, “India, my India”, showcasing the different dance forms of India. The children from U.K.G. with their programme, ‘Bugzz world’, took the stage next. They had an exciting time going on a picnic looking for some fun, while encountering all sorts of creatures. It was an adventurous trip to the mini world of insects.

Shapes help us recognize and differentiate things. They also help us design and create things. That’s what the students of Class 1 conveyed through “Lets shape up” as they tried to show us the shape of things to come.

After a brief interval, there was a classical Kathak dance thanking God for giving us his blessings in the form of various elements like water, fire, wind and earth. Up next was Class 2 with “Fusion” dance forms from around the world, beginning with Incredible India, followed by the Spanish flamenco, then moving on to the tribals of Africa and concluding with a sizzling dance from Arabia.

Class 4 presented a musical extravaganza “Thank you for the music” ABBA was one of the most famous musical groups of the 70’s and won the hearts of millions around the world. Our little artists recreated that magic with their vibrant music and dance by singing some of ABBA’s evergreen and foot tapping songs.

The students of Class 3 with their programme “Gypsy Galatta”, took us on an enchanting voyage to the heart of Africa, from the tribal gypsies with their tambourines to the mysterious Arabian deserts with their pretty dancing, from the buoyant country of Spain with their smart bull fighters to the bright land of Rajasthan and their charming folk dancers.

The evening’s programme concluded with a short skit by the students of Class 5 “A better place” in which the audience was asked to decide for themselves whether they were doing enough to keep our planet Earth, a clean, green and happy place to live in. With songs and dances and superb action, the evening came to an end with a flourish.
