The students take part in the district sports meets known as "Griggs" and have won the overall championship trophy several times.
They have also participated in district, state, and national science fairs, and have won numerous prizes.
This sacred hymn is sung by the students daily when the school assembles in the morning, prior to the beginning of classes.
Who is as fair as a jasmine flower, the moon or a snow flake, who is dressed in flawless white and whose hands are adorned by Veena (a musical instrument), who is seated in a white lotus, to whom Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva pray..Please, protect us...!!!
This prayer is followed by the Indian National Anthem and poem No.35 of "Gitanjali", one of the writings of Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Prize in Literature winner : "Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, Where knowledge is free, Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls, Where words come out from the depth of truth, Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards the perfection, Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit, Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action, Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake!"
