Morning Assemblies in Zebar are mostly theme-based. As World Population Day was on 11th July, an assembly was held by students of 7th C on the same topic. The assembly began with a one minute silence as a mark of respect for our beloved Academic Advisor, Ms.Pratima Patell, who recently left for heavenly abode. After the one minute silence, the morning prayers were sung, and students shared thought of the day.The anchors of the assembly Yashvi and Veer spoke eloquently and confidently. A Nukkad Natak was performed by the students of 7th C to highlight the problems arising from population explosion. The assembly concluded with the National Anthem.

The idiom “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” holds true even for the young learners. Sports, whether team-based or individual, are great for children as they provide not just physical activity, but also help build children’s self-esteem, confidence, social skills and motivate them to excel in life. In recognition of the importance of sports in a child’s life, Zebar School for Children celebrated its Annual Sports Day for children of Junior KG and Playgroup. The day began with the declaration of the meet, marking the commencement of the ceremony, followed by the lighting of the torch.

Students of classes 6 and 8 embarked on a journey of ‘Discovery of India’ today evening at Pandit Deendayal Auditorium. The show exposed watershed moments in the history of the Indian civilization and an insightful view into the pluralist nature of our country. The magnum opus conceived by the Vice Principal Ms Reena Kahlon traced the 5000 year history of India, up until the country attained freedom in 1947, from the naming of our motherland as ‘Bharat’ to the times when it was ‘Sone Ki Chidiya’, and the glorious reign of Guptas and Mauryas to the invasion by the British and the great freedom struggle. It was presented in the style of a dance documentary but also included a dramatic recreation of certain scenes.
