Students and teachers of the upper primary section put up a virtual show and competed with one another in decking up their classrooms according to the theme of their respective districts.
“The participation of students and teachers was overwhelming, and the programme went beyond our expectations. We had given them just a brief asking them to convert their classrooms into representations of 14 districts of Kerala by showcasing their history, art forms, historical figures, rivers, tourism destinations, industry, and agri crops. They truly excelled in executing the idea and turned their classrooms into repositories of information relating to each district,” said Smitha Karun, a faculty member of the school.
