 Even though the Bridge Club was
 only recently established, it has
 quickly become the most popular
 club at school. The group has
 progressed from researching
 sequences to playing various card
 games, culminating in the
 introduction of the sophisticated game of bridge. Bridge Club, which combines strategy
 through probability and mathematics with fun and spontaneity, gives students a space to   ART CLUB

          DANCE CLUB

          We started our dance journey by warming up with exciting dance activities like JustDance. Following that, we danced to Bollywood songs
          like Ghagra, London Thumakda, and Manja, combining Indian and Western dancing traditions. In keeping with the Navratri holidays,
 CODING CLUB  students learned famous Garba steps such as the Popat. We practised our choreography talents through improvisation sessions. Being in
          the Dance Club was an enjoyable experience, as the 11th graders were helpful in teaching us new sequences and choreographies.
 This club allows students to improve their programming skills. The club invites
 students of all skill levels and lets them pick between Java and Python as their
 chosen language. Students can proceed at their own pace. Recently, the club
 has also encouraged students to develop their own projects, which is a
 wonderful method for them to put their skills to use. Students in the beginner
 group learned about arrays, iteration, and conditional statements, while
 students in the intermediate group solved competitive programming
 challenges. Overall, the Coding Club is a fantastic resource for students
 wishing to improve their programming abilities.
