Sports – “Sound mind in sound body” is an oft repeated saying in English. It is particularly true in case of our students who pay equal importance to the development of both brain and brawn. Our children take part in both intra school and inter – school corn petitions on a regular basis’. They excel not only in academics but also in sports and games. They have carved out a niche for them elves in team games and individual events. The following students of our institution have made a mark in different levels:
