Cultural programme marks annual day school notes

Having fun: Children performing at the annual day celebrations of Sri Vani Education Centre.

BANGALORE: Sri Vani Education Centre, Machohalli, celebrated its annual day recently with a cultural programme showcasing the cultural heritage of our nation. Braving the chill, children displayed their singing and dancing abilities. The guests highlighted the importance of revolutionising the way teachers teach and students learn inside classrooms. There is a dire need to meet the challenges of classroom in a more pragmatic manner, they remarked. To create perceptible quality enhancement in education, there must be regular interaction between teachers, students and parents, they said. The guests also lauded the performance of children and told them to take their talent to the next level. Students received general proficiency prizes from the guests. Vice-principal Karthiayani Bhat presented the school report. Senior principal L.S.S. Sharma welcomed the gathering and introduced the guests.

Republic Day celebrations

The 58th Republic Day was celebrated with much gaiety at Ryan International School, Kundalahalli. The programme began with a march past by members of the four houses followed by the school’s junior band. It was the first performance by the junior band and it put up a brilliant show.

Konnur encouraged the children and appreciated the initiative taken by the children in making the celebration a grand success. He spoke on the democratic idea of our founding fathers and reflected on the cultural diversity of India and also appreciated the perfect environment created at Ryan for the development of education.
