The projects and assignments are current and designed to help the learner exhibit their creative thinking and problem solving skills.
Theme-based assemblies help the students build confidence to face an audience. These assemblies are presented through speeches, drama, dance, song, role-plays, mimes, street plays based on the theme thereby creating awareness among our students.
