August month brought a sigh of relief for the children as they could come 
outdoors to play various games. Two inter-house tournaments were held this month. Independence Day celebration was held in the school on 16th August. Besides we had the Elocution Competition and the Reading Competition being organized. Apart from sports and competitions, we had many Extra Curricular Activities conducted for the interested children. It was also a month where children began their preparation for the upcoming 1st Term Examination. Mr Valentine Ezeugo, a trained professional footballer, has joined us as a coach to develop our children in sports.

Currently he is training 7 senior children, who have taken the responsibility to learn the trade of Art from Mr Dev and in turn to train their junior counterparts in painting. Mr Dev has been frequently meeting the senior trainers every Thursday. Interested children have made two paintings each to be presented to Mr Deviprasad.
Art & Crafts Workshops: We had volunteers Mr Rohit Jinger and Ms Sam 
Jackson who took creative arts classes for selected students.
