The Press Club of Bhavan’s Public School conducted its 5th Mock Press Conference recently. The personality chosen for the month was Nelson Mandela. The students from class VI-VIII contested for both, the role of the first South African President and as mock press reporters from various print media. The session started with the student reporters who asked many questions to the president contestants like the reasons for his visit to Qatar and in particular to Bhavan’s Public School, anti-apartheid protests, his long years of imprisonment and on winning the elections as the first Black President and and many other questions related to politics, social & economic aspects of South Africa that generated interest among the audience. After the mock conference, Helmin of Std VII was declared the winner as best contestant for the personality of the month followed by Rohan T Thomas of Std VII and Fathima of Std VII. The results of student reporters will be declared later after the submission of their reports for judgement. Prabhavathy Nambiar gave away the prizes to the winners.
