Inter School Literary Festival
Competitions play a role in motivating students to perform and excel and offer a reward far greater than just the winning prize. Competitions offer a chance for participants to receive exposure, experience, showcase skills, analyse and evaluate outcomes and uncover personal aptitude. Competitions also encourage students to innovate and develop their own ideas and skills.
G. D. Goenka School invited our students to participate in the Goenkan Literazzi, an inter-school literary festival on 3rd August 2017.
There were 5 categories at both the junior level (classes IV-VI) and the senior level (classes VII- IX). The categories were Poesy slam, Unveil the script, Report it and Spin a yarn.
Poesy Slam was a recitation event for the juniors which saw participation by Mehr Sagoi of class VI. The poem chosen by her was The Crocodile and the Dentist by Roald Dahl. The next category, Spin a Yarn was a story writing competition. Aansi Jamatia of class IV represented our School at this event.
Last but not the least was Unveil the Script for the junior category. Here, Dhairya Saran, Rhea Grover, Jyotsana Basroor of class V and Harshita of class IV and antriksh Mishra of class VI put up a skit with the theme, God helps those who help themselves.'
