In a symbolic gesture of growth and continuity, saplings were planted in the serene Headmaster’s Green, marking their enduring connection to the institution. The moment was immortalized with a group photograph, capturing the spirit of togetherness and celebration.
The afternoon’s special assembly proved to be a highlight of the day, featuring R-0073 Avtar Singh Sidhu (ICSE 1999) as the keynote speaker. A distinguished alumnus, Mr Sidhu recounted his inspiring journey from Nabha to Ontario, Canada, where he now serves as a Physician Assistant, managing Rural Narcotic Emergency Clinics. His words resonated deeply, embodying the transformative power of education and determination.
The festivities carried into the second day with a spirited cricket match on the Main Fields.
