 Half-Yearly Parents-Teachers Meeting 
Our school organized a Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) on Saturday, 17 October 2026, to discuss the results of the half-yearly examinations and the achievements of students.
During the meeting, teachers discussed students' performance with their parents and explained the areas where they were doing well and where they needed to improve. Parents also got a chance to share their concerns and discuss their children's progress with the teachers. The meeting was helpful for both parents and teachers as they got to understand how students could improve further.
 Save Water 
Water is one of the most important things for all living beings. We need water for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing clothes, and cleaning our homes. Plants and animals also need water to live. Without water, life on Earth is impossible.
Water is a precious gift of nature, but clean water is limited. Many people around the world do not have access to clean water to drink. We should understand its importance and never waste it.
We can save water by closing taps after use, repairing leaking taps, and using only the water we need. We should also collect rainwater and reuse water whenever possible. We must not throw garbage into rivers, lakes, and ponds because it makes the water dirty.
Every small step can help us save water. We should teach our friends and family to use water wisely. It is our duty to protect this precious natural resource for future generations.
Remember, every drop counts! Save water, save life!

 Interview with Tiya Sompura (Student Council- Head Girl) 
Reporters: Siddhi Solanki and Namita Rajpurohit 
(Reporters as RP, TSA as Tiya Sompura)
RP: Becoming the School Head Girl is both an achievement and a responsibility. Which of these did you feel more strongly when you took on this role?
TSA: While the achievement made me proud, the responsibility meant much more to me. An achievement is a moment of recognition, but responsibility is something you prove every single day. I realised that this position wasn’t just about wearing a badge; it was about becoming worthy of it.
RP: Do you believe leadership is about having a voice or giving others a voice?
TSA: I believe true leadership is about giving others a voice. A leader’s success isn’t measured by how loudly they speak, but by how many people feel heard because of them. Having a voice gives you influence, but giving others a voice creates impact.
RP: What kind of example do you hope to set for the juniors who look up to you?
TSA: I want my juniors to understand that leadership doesn’t require perfection; it requires courage, kindness, and consistency. I hope they remember me not just as someone who held a position, but as someone who made them believe that they, too, are capable of achieving something meaningful.
RP: If you could introduce one initiative that would continue even after you leave school, what would it be?
TSA: I would introduce a student mentorship programme where seniors guide juniors, not just academically but also in building confidence, exploring opportunities and overcoming challenges. I believe the greatest legacy isn’t something that ends when you leave; it’s something that continues to grow because you were once a part of it.
RP: If you could leave the students of our school with one thought that stays with them long after this interview, what would it be?
TSA: Don’t spend your school years trying only to become someone successful; focus on becoming someone valuable. Marks, titles and achievements will always matter, but the kindness you show, the courage you carry and the difference you make in someone’s life will define who you truly are.
Be remembered not just for what you achieved, but for how you made people feel.
