On 4th February, 2017, the inter-class poetry recitation competition took place amongst the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Grades. The grades took part in the English poetry recitation, followed by the Hindi poetry recitation.

There were three categories — fifth and sixth grades in the first category, 7A and 7B in the second category and 8A, B and C in the third category. The topics for the English and Hindi recitation were ‘Personality’ and ‘Veer Ras’ respectively.
