Though a daunting task, to organize a programme in the current situation of social distancing, DPS-MIS leaves no stone unturned when it comes to acknowledge, encourage and motivate students. To honour the meritorious students of grades V and VI (2019-2020), DPS-MIS organised an online award ceremony on June 8. It was aired live on Facebook.
The solemn occasion was graced by the chief guest, Sreedharan Kunniramath, Director DPSMIS, Principal Asna Nafees, Vice Principal Senior Secondary School, Soma Bhattacharjee, Vice Principal Senior School, Mary Cruz, Headmistress, Sini Menon, proud parents and the young achievers.
The programme commenced with the recitation of verses from the Holy Quran by Rayyan Oneeb Washid of class VI-L. To show their love and respect to the school, students performed virtually the school song.
The Chief Guest Sreedharan Kunniramath, Director DPSMIS, in his inspiring address, appreciated the students who accomplished their objective of securing 100 percent attendance and also the parents who had provided students with a great ambiance at home.
He also shared a tip to those who aspire for 100 percent attendance, to practice yoga, cycling, dancing and most importantly sleep well. Commenting on the exemplary performance by our young achievers, he emphasized the idea that success comes with some kind of responsibility and advocated students to be consistent in their performance. Quoting the words of one of his teachers, he inspired the students to exchange and share their ideas and techniques of learning and bring other students also to the lead, for it is “he who shares, who hands his knowledge, who hands his experience and his techniques to others is always a handsome person.”
Principal Asna Nafees thanked the Chief Guest for his gracious presence and inspiring speech. She congratulated the young achievers and accentuated that each awardee of the day is an epitome of hard work, dedication and of wonderful values that have been imbibed over the years.
The Principal said that it is indeed the beginning for the young achievers of grades 5 and 6 who have a long way to go and do extremely well. She also highlighted the significance of responding with resilience and gave valuable insights into the understanding of human values.
She also appreciated the collective vision put forth by the management, faculty, support staff, parents and students to rise above the ordinary and make all of this collaborative work and learning, a grand success.
A total of 378 students were virtually awarded for their outstanding academic excellence and 100 percent attendance. The programme was anchored by Sonal Sampath (Activity Coordinator, Junior Wing) under the supervision of Asna Nafees, Mary Cruz ,Vice Principal Senior School and Sini Menon, Headmistress (I-V).
