The Pre-school orientation was held on Saturday 29th April 2017. As customary, the evening marked the auspicious new beginning of a lasting relationship.
An orientation is held every year at the beginning of the academic session to help familiarise parents with the ethos and philosophy of our School.
Parents arrived well on time for the occasion and were welcomed by The Indian School band. A scrumptious spread was laid out section- wise and parents were treated to the delectable refreshments as they enthusiastically interacted with the class teachers.

It was explained, that, when the children are ready to leave School as young adults, they will carry out the diyas as lamps of knowledge to spread light in the world.
When all the parents had finished lighting their diyas, the hundreds of small soft flames made for a moving spectacle and a truly auspicious ambience. Together with the inspirational song, the effect was utterly elevating.
Executive Head, Ms. Susan Thomas welcomed Chairman Mr. Praful Goradia and Vice Chairperson of the School Managing Committee, Ms.Brinda Shroff. Ms.Shroff
emphasised that parents and the School must necessarily partner and collaborate in the best interest of the child. She pointed out that Poise is the one all-encompassing quality we seek to build in every Foundationer.
The programme was ably compered by Mehr of class VI and Sarthak of class IV. They skilfully carried the show which included glimpses of last years annual day and a 'trash fashion' parade. As usual, the little performers did not fail to delight! They carried their costumes with aplomb and never missed a single step! The audience could not stop marveling at the poise! The programme concluded with the School choir singing the School song.
