Apeejay School, Noida recently celebrated its Annual Appreciation Day with much grandeur and gaiety. The event recognised the outstanding achievements of students in both scholastic and co-scholastic areas as well as showcased the immense wealth of talent of the students.
The Chief Guest for the evening was Ms. Laxmi Singh, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Gautam Budh Nagar, UP. She congratulated the School for its achievements and said that she was genuinely impressed by the academic excellence, display of sportsmanship and talent. She further said, “The world has become more competitive, it is crucial to understand what real education entails. Competitions & exams, while important, are just the beginning. The real tests lie in decision-making, facing obstacles, and meeting challenges after leaving institutions like Apeejay School Noida.”
Padma Shri, Shashadhar Acharya, an exponent of Chhau dance form, graced the occasion as the Guest of Honour. He highlighted the need to be grounded as a human being and encouraged students to pursue any art form alongside academics.
The special highlight of the evening was a captivating musical play– ‘Ollie with a Twist’— a modern take on Dickens’ Oliver Twist, showcasing the talent of a large number of students. The bilingual play was inspired by the sentiment of compassion, social commitment & equal education opportunities for all. The idea was to let the students imbibe these human values organically, as value based education is a prime focus of the School.
The entire programme was led by students themselves – from welcome, compering, reporting & thanks-giving. The programme was presided over by Shri Dinesh Rai, Member, Board of Governors, on behalf of Madam Mrs Sushma Paul Berlia, Chairman, Apeejay Education. He expressed delight at the School’s success, including consistently ranking first in various surveys. Dignitaries and distinguished members of Apeejay Education, grandparents, parents and alumni also attended the occasion.
