SINGING COMPETITION

The students of class XI B broke the common taboo surrounding the Medical and Non-Medical sections by showcasing their aesthetic abilities in the Intra School Singing Competition held in the month of August. The melodious choir included Aman, Kriss, Diksha, Gayatri, Inayat, Harneet, Nikita, Smriti, Jayati and Stuti. The rest of the class and the class teacher, Ma’am Swati Thakur, were very supportive and helped in boosting their confidence. Mani, Sarah and Risham helped in the selection of the song (“Manjha” from “Kai Po Che”) and did their best to assist the students on hitting the right notes. As a whole the competition was tough but the students shone bright by winning the Consolation Prize in the 1^st Category, which included classes 9^th-11^th. The experience was enriching and an example of true class spirit.

International Youth Day Celebrations

   

  

  

So far the school year has been a very exciting and educational one for the students of class XI B. We would like to thank our class teacher, Ma’am Swati Thakur, our class teachers, Ma’am Nilofer Masih and Ma’am Tina Agarwal, as well as all the other teachers who have supported us throughout. We would also like to extend our gratitude to our Principal, Sr. Swati, for giving us these valuable opportunities to express ourselves. 

                      BULLETIN BOARD DECORATION

The bulletin board is a beautiful display of our class' vivid imagination and creativity and is regularly updated for various occasions. For the auspicious occasion of Carmel Feast that falls on 16^th July, the class board depicted various incidents from the life of Mother Veronica that left a deep impact on humanity and the values she has taught us through them. It beautifully unfurls the valued milestones that constitute CARMEL. We are blessed to be Carmelites and will continue to do our bit to spread the values imbibed in us by our esteemed institution.

INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 

The 12^th of August was celebrated as the International Youth Day in Carmel Convent School. Grade XI (A, B, C) lead the stage show.

The show was opened with a short speech shedding light on the Spirit of Youth, which was followed by the lighting of the lamp by the Principal, Sr. Swati, and the members of the Cabinet. The prayer service laid emphasis on extracts from different Holy Scriptures stressing on the importance and power of youth.

A motivational power point presentation was shown to encourage students to work hard and dream big, after which, the students of classes XI C and XI B sang a medley of songs that represented the positivity and hope that youth brings. The stage was hen taken over by a student of class XI C who went on to give a speech in Hindi about the perception of youth by society versus the actual reason behind their restlessness. She spoke about how the youth may adopt a modern lifestyle but in basic essence they still want to improve their own country and are well aware of their responsibilities. Next was a play by the students of class XI A which inspired students to keep their eyes on their goal and not be held back by stereotypical norms of the ideal profession. The show was ended with a beautiful dance prepared by the students of class XI B portraying the change in youth over the decades.
Finally, a closing speech was given by the Principal, Sr. Swati, motivating the students to become responsible citizens and to do their bit towards peace and harmony for a better tomorrow.
