Edwin Hubble once said “Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.” As students, we embark on this adventure called Science everyday and hence, it is thrilling to have a day dedicated to this adventure. National Science Day is celebrated on 28th February in remembrance of Noble Prize winner C. V. Raman for discovering the “Raman Effect”. On account of National Science Day, the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) conducted an Inter-school competition in Quiz and Painting based on the topic “Modern Astronomy”.

Seventy eight students from various schools participated in the competition. The students who participated in the quiz competition were allowed to explore the museum while the art competition was going on. The students participating in the Quiz were provided with forty questions based on physics which were to be answered in twenty minutes. Ammu Elizabeth and Ananthalakshmi of Class 11 won third place in Quiz . Ammu Elizabeth also won third place in the Painting Competition. The certificates and prizes were presented to the winners by Mr. Selventran (Scientist In-charge), Mr. Kumaravel (Asst. Scientist In-charge) and Ms. Kasthuribai (Librarian and accountant of IIA Observatory, Kodaikanal). The winners received interesting books as prizes which was very exciting.

A lot of activities relating to Science take place in our school, including the recent science exhibition conducted by the juniors. We are thrilled to participate in these activities and competitions, and enrich our knowledge on a daily basis.
