The President of the Rotary Club of Kodaikanal Mr. S. Selvakumar, a sportsman himself, was our chief guest. He not only lit the Olympic torch, he also lit in our students hearts teamwork, perseverance and hard work. He ended his speech with a punch line: “You must always say ‘I can’ and not ‘Can I?’, and ‘I will’ and not ‘Will I?'”

Present as dignitaries were our Correspondent Mr. Sambabu, our Administrator Mrs. Nirmala Sambabu, our Principal Mr. Michael Joshua, our Director Mr. Rohan and Mrs. Sandra Rohan, and Mr. Mohammed Ibrahim, our PTA President.

The March Past was led by our School Cabinet and it was followed by Spring, Autumn, Winter and Summer houses. It was indeed an honour for every participant to represent their house. The March Past not only was a display of uniformity and discipline, it was socially relevant with Spring, Autumn, Winter and Summer houses holding placards on farmers protest, longing to learn, child safety and girl harassment respectively.

Our Physical Education Director Mr. Udayakumar read the school’s sports report. It was a time of rejoicing to hear about the various achievements of our school in sports and games.

It was simply spectacular to watch our junior school children participate in interesting games like: help Mom dry clothes, getting ready to go to school, walking backwards and lemon spoon race.

The rhythm and the coordination in the Mass Drill won the hearts of the audience. Our boys’ performance of Mallakhamb, Silambattam and Pyramid made all of us go WOW. The girls enthralled the spectators with their fusion of Indian and Western dance. The games for the parents and teachers got all our students on their feet cheering.

Medals and certificates were distributed by the dignitaries to our students.

We congratulate the following student who won individual championships in their categories:

U 14 Boys – Jerome

U 14 Girls –  Shalom Nisy

U 17 Boys – Tamilarasan

U 17 Girls – Aathira

U 19 Boys – Mohammed Irshath

It was a time of rejoicing for the Spring house as they bagged the overall championship. Following them came Autumn, Winter and Summer. It was such a wonderful day at Peter’s. We once again congratulate all the participants and winners.

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.

CBSE talent show was held on 4th March, 2017 and was centred around the theme – “Agriculture”. With the recent events in Tamil Nadu concerning farming, the students found it socially relevant to celebrate the noble profession of Agriculture. Parents and teachers were present in good numbers to encourage the performers with their animated cheering. The Director (Mr.Rohan Sambabu) and Administrator (Mrs. Nirmala Sambabu) were the Chief Guests, and added to the exciting atmosphere.

“They Farm, We Eat!” was the tagline which resonated across every performance. The program began with a Bible reading and a welcome address from the tiny tots of CBSE. A soul-stirring rendition of the prayer song by the CBSE choir was followed by a thought-provoking address from the Principal. The program was off to an energetic start with the Gangnam-style inspired dance by classes 1 to 3. It was an eye-opener to know the dance was inspired by the Gangnam district in South Korea which highlights the importance of agriculture in the development of a city. A moving speech in Hindi about agriculture in India “Jai Kisaan” by a student of class 6 was followed by folk dances from classes 4 and 5 and the angelic voices of the choir from classes 1 to 3.

The Tamil skit had a hard-hitting message for the audience – encourage local produce & products, and know its benefits. The skit was made more vibrant with the realistic stage props. The English skit – the World needs Farmers – was moving in its message of farming being a noble profession, one that is equally (and maybe more) important than that of a doctor or an engineer. A choreography performed in the art form of a “Street Play” brought a fitting finish to the theme with an awareness of the adverse actions of multi-national corporations in farming. The show was brought to an end with a fun-filled dance by the boys of class 8. The entire program was kept more interesting with solo instrumental performances by the students on the drums, keyboard and guitar and the spirited singing from the various class choirs.

Overall, it was an unforgettable evening and celebrated the spirit of farming!

Rithesh ( Grade 8) and Megha ( Grade 6)
