The 34th Annual Inter House Athletics Meet was held on 27th February 2016. The meet began with the Chief Guest Brig (Ms) R. Rajshree, Commandant, MH Chennai, being welcomed by the Board of Trustees.

Once the four houses congregated at the centre of the field, the school flag was hoisted, the games torch was lit, and the Chief Guest declared the meet open.

Following this, the House Captains took an oath of sportsmanship in a solemn ceremony. ‘The Zumba Circuit’ was the drill this year and was performed by nearly 400 children of classes 6 to 9.
