Nearly the entire student body participated, with 925 students from Classes VII–XII and 182 kindergarten children performing on stage. The performances impressed the audience with the students’ confidence, teamwork, and professionalism.
The themes chosen by every class were:
Class 7 – “Rang Kal Ke, Raftaar Aaj ki”
“Rang Kal Ke, Raftaar Aaj Ki” translates to “Colours of Yesterday, Speed of Today.” It contrasts the vibrant memories of the past with the fast‑moving present. While yesterday was full of colours, dreams, and simplicity, today races ahead with technology and rapid change. The theme urges us to cherish past experiences while embracing the momentum of the present.
In short: Celebrate tradition, chase progress.

Class 8 – “Chithaara Badukina Antharala”
“Chithaara Badukina Antharala” – “The Space Between Two Generations” – captures the pause, the silence, the interval that lies between a generation that grew up without technology and the one thriving in a digital world. It explores how this generational gap, though filled with misunderstandings, also holds deep meaning, emotions, and possibilities. The theme reminds us to value the stillness and emptiness between the two eras, as it shapes identity, empathy, and growth.
In short: It is the meaningful silence/gap between two generations, highlighting both the distance and the bridge that connects them.
Class 9 – “The Mystery of the Vanishing Dame”
A priceless antique statue vanishes from a mansion during a weekend party. Detective Maya, aided by quirky journalist Sam, uncovers a hidden passage, false alibis, and a family feud over inheritance. The twist: the “vanishing dame” was a decoy— a secret code etched by the family’s founder to reveal a hidden treasure map. In the climax, the real treasure is exposed—a forgotten heirloom that restores the family’s lost legacy.
Class 10 – “Tenali Raman- The Eco-Warrior!”
In Vijayanagar, the king announces a “Green Victory” contest, promising riches for the flashiest environmental plan. Tenali Raman arrives disguised as a farmer and discovers the kingdom’s real problems—tree‑cutting, river pollution, and fake “green” gadgets. He teams up with young scientist and bird‑loving person. Together they launch simple, real solutions: planting native trees, bamboo water filters, and clay‑pot waste segregation. Tenali exposes the king’s glittery tricks—gold‑painted statues, plastic gardens, and compulsory artificial leaves. Seeing clear streams, returning birds, and thriving crops, the king abandons the gimmicks and adopts genuine eco‑reforms.
Moral: Cleverness paired with conscience protects the planet; true progress is not a show.
Class 11 – “The Rhythms of Rebellion”
In The Rhythms of Rebellion, a group of teenagers channels their defiant energy into a movement. Despite pressure from parents, peers, and society that doubts them, they persist, using their art to spark change. Their grit leads to personal success and shifts mindsets throughout the community.
Moral: Grit and passion can transform teenage rebellion into a powerful force for achievement, despite pushback from family, friends, and society.
The program was meticulously crafted, bringing the students’ expressions to life and leaving the audience flabbergasted and Inarticulate.
Students of class 12 Kshitij G Shetty, Raqiya Maimoon, Amrutha, Divya Kumari, Manavi B Khokhani, and Advait Krishna Raj proposed the vote of thanks.
Addressing the gathering, principal Fr Johnson L Sequeira expressed pride in the students’ participation and highlighted the school’s mission of fostering academic excellence alongside creativity, leadership, technological literacy, discipline, and strong values. He thanked parents for their support and urged them to spend meaningful time with their children, noting that such involvement greatly contributes to both emotional and academic development.
The programme concluded with the theme song by the school choir and the jazz music by the school orchestra enchanting all with their wonderful music, creating a mesmerising atmosphere and bringing the second day of the annual day festivities to a spirited close.
