New Delhi: School assemblies are a time to come together, not just as a school community, but as a generation with a shared responsibility for our world. It is a moment when we come together to affirm our school’s identity and aspirations, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. More than just a daily ritual, the school assembly is a powerful platform for inspiring and motivating students.

It helps build self-confidence, expands knowledge, sparks creativity, and enhances aesthetic appreciation among students. During these assemblies, we celebrate achievements, share important news, and learn about significant events happening around the world.
