Sports and training facilities at the school include athletics, cross country, badminton, volleyball, basketball, kho-kho, cricket, football, hockey and table tennis. We take pride in our sports’ talents and provide all necessary facilities for good training and enabling future potential.

ARTS

THE PERFORMING ARTS

“The World is a complicated place and there’s a lot of division between people. The performing arts tend to unify people in a way nothing else does.” – David Rubenstein (Philanthropist)

Students are encouraged to take part in the dramatic arts ranging from one act plays to street plays (social activism) and shortened classics, in all 3 languages English, Hindi, Punjabi. The dramatic arts provide not only a platform to express oneself as students create and direct in many instances but also a means of developing artistic and interpersonal skills.

MUSIC

Music is a universal language that enables us to express a whole range of emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Music periods at school hold a special place in the students’ heart. It gives them the much needed relaxation from their gruelling subjects.

The School Orchestra and Choir are an indispensable part of our school. Our choir and our budding musicians are indeed a force to reckon with. The music room is always buzzing with activities pertaining to the important upcoming school events. Classical instruments such as Tabla, harmonium, flute, violin, sitar, tambourine, harmonica to western drums, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, Cajon are some of the prized possessions of our orchestra. The monochromatic uniform dress code of our school band makes our young artists look debonair.
