Welcome back to the New Academic session of our excellent

strong, and yet another challenge to face. Our Teachers and

all the students from Prep to XII have been involved in

academics through virtual classes leaving no stone unturned.

seniors. Gradually all the other classes followed, excelling in

every subject through activities, videos and direct

communication with students using white board.

• A great challenge taken under the guidance of Our Principal

Ma’am and other heads, getting appreciations and feedbacks,

motivating Teachers, benefitting students to a great extent

with this new technology.
