BANGALORE: Two batches of bright and enthusiastic graduates of standards X and XII of Delhi Public School (DPS) South took their vows to do the right thing and choose to do what they like the best, with sincerity.

The chief guest was K.C. Ramamurthy, Additional Commissioner of Police, Traffic and Security.

The function began with the lighting of the lamp.

Manju Sharma, Principal DPS South, addressed the gathering and administered the oath.

The chief guest, in his address to the students, told them never to fear difficulties, but to take them head-on because he was sure the school, with its holistic educational system, had trained them well.

He said each of their experiences would leave them stronger. He urged the students to reach the skies and leave a trail of success.

The candle-lighting ceremony, which is symbolic of the passing of “The Flame of Knowledge” was indeed a touching moment. The programme ended with a soulful rendition of the song “al vida” that brought tears to the eyes of many.

Annual day

Windermere High School, Magadi Road, celebrated its annual day, “Manifest 2008”, at Sri Shorff Basappa Auditorium recently. The day was eagerly awaited by children and they participated with energy and enthusiasm in the cultural programme.

The programme began with a classical dance, followed by a patriotic dance presented by the tiny tots of pre-primary section. The students of primary section presented folk dances of the State, while the high school students performed a fusion dance.

In the right spirit

With the aim of infusing the spirit of English Premier League at the school level, Rashtriya Military School conducted a football tournament recently. Brigadier Clement Samuel, Commander, Karnataka and Kerala Sub Area, inaugurated the tournament in which top 12 teams of the city participated. The brigadier told the teams to win but in the right spirit.

The tournament, christened the Junior Premier League, was open for students below class XI. It was played on league-cum-knock out basis and the teams were named after well-known English football clubs such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United. Boys Sports Company (ASC Centre) emerged the winner at the tournament. The team from Bishop Cotton Boys’ High School was the first runner-up, while the host team was the third best. The players have not signed a multi-million dollar contract with any club yet they are dreaming of doing it some day.
