Swimming pool inaugurated PANCHKULA, The Director of the school, Mr Pritam Singh Serai, said that being one of the most useful components of balanced growth, the authorities and faculty felt the necessity of having the pool for its students at the school itself. He added that though the pool was scheduled to be completed in the last session, paucity of funds delayed the project. The pool was in keeping with the theme of the on-going summer camp of “good urban living” where academic and co-curricular activities are being held simultaneously. Also, the membership of the pool would be made open to all children, besides students of the school. During the inaugural session, the students participating in the summer workshops presented a humorous skit presenting the ploys of the police in harassing innocent passers-by to mint money. Also, a lively dance performance to the peppy number “Sohna Dikhda” and a group song marked the occasion. The programme was compered by Ms Harpreet Kaur. |
