The new academic year began on the 2nd
of April with a lot of enthusiasm, new resolutions and much anticipation. Yet
another academic year with several curricular and co-curricular activities
planned started and new students joined the family of Orchids. The learners got
their new books, the course was introduced, classes started and a month’s
syllabus was completed. Now was the time for breaking for Summer Vacation - a
time for travel, a time for rest and a time for proper planning with a few
assignments completed. But the Break needs a Bang! That was exactly what ‘The
Cultural Fest’ lent the occasion. More than a week was spent in discussions on
the programme to be presented and the ways to present it well. Each class
squeezed their practice in the limited time available. The ‘Fest’ on April 27 started with ‘Vinayaka
Sthuthi’ by the students of Classical Dance and was followed by classwise
performance. Several aspects like best behaviour, best display boards and the
conduct of assemblies along with the day’s participation, were taken into
consideration to select the Best classes and they received their trophies from
the Principal of Orchids, Mrs. Mona Mehdi. A spectacle of delightful dances and
music ended the session and announced the vacation with a bang.
