A farewell ceremony is organized to express gratitude and appreciation towards the outgoing individuals and to acknowledge their contributions to the organization. The graduation ceremony was held on February 4, 2023, for our grade XII, ISC batch. Our young patricians lit candles and walked down the aisle, looked smart and promised to do their best in the upcoming board examination. It was an environment where emotions ran high as the young achievers reflected on their school lives and how their alma mater played an important role in moulding and building their personalities. They showcased their brimming memories and personal anecdotes about the teachers. Our Principal Rev. Bro. George Joseph addressed the gathering and presented the mementos to the students, whom he bestowed with the encouraging titles, which was a kind gesture of the organization as a matter of recognition and appreciation.
