Through the robotics and coding programs we look at building a strong
foundation in the field of computational thinking and robotics. The school
provides students with the resources and the opportunity to use this knowledge
while representing it at global competitions like the FIRST Tech Challenge (Grades
VII-IX) and the FIRST Robotics Competition (Grades VIII- XII). The competition
curriculum also has the students espousing various causes including inclusion and
gender diversity by providing equal opportunities to all through partnerships with
organisations that work closely with local communities.

f) Annual Day and School Fete

The Annual Day and the School Fete are very important events that bring the whole
school family together for a joyous celebration of the achievements, values and
beliefs of the school. The events showcase the talent of each and every student,
focussing on the joy of learning. In preparation for these events, the usual school
routine changes and we follow an 'Evening School' routine for a few days leading

renewed resolve and zeal.

The School Fete is an annual event which involves NGOs that the school works
with, in order to support the various service initiatives that the students are
involved in.
