SCHOOL ASSEMBLY
Morning Assembly is the time when the entire school community assembles at an appropriate place to affirm the school’s identity and aspirations. The school assembly is the best forum to inspire and motivate students. It serves as a platform to develop self confidence, creativity and aesthetic sense among students and helps in acquiring knowledge and information. We must ensure that monotony does not set in.
