A Talent Show was held in school for which every student was encouraged to participate in one way or another.

A pottery activity was also conducted and received a very enthusiastic response.
A Yoga Competition was held, wherein students competed to see who could perform the maximum number of Surya Namaskars. This competition provided a combination of enjoyment as well as health benefits.
An interesting Story Telling Session was conducted, entitled "The Enormous Carrot". The story sensitised the students to the benefits of teamwork. Thereafter a fun craft activity was conducted with the students, related to the story.
A movie with popcorn was arranged for the students, with a theatre set-up organized within the school.

The YAP (Young Athletes Programme) was conducted as a training for the parents of the students. This is an innovative sports programme for students from 2 to 7 years old. Activities in this programme would help to develop the physical and mental abilities of the children. Our students have recently participated in the YAP event organized by the Special Olympics Bharat, Maharashtra.
A Puppet Show entitled "Raju's Smartphone Adventure" was presented on the theme of how smartphones should be used for benefit, rather than as a distraction. The message provided by the puppet show was that one should not allow oneself to be addicted to smartphones, but rather should use them maturely for beneficial activities.
An important component of the academic year were the Open Days which were scheduled at the school to provide positive and supportive feedback to the parents on their children's performance, by emphasizing their achievements and providing constructive and practical suggestions for further improvement.
The term ended with a meeting of all the Management and the Staff Members. The Administrative Staff shared their experiences of participating in the NIRVAAN 2023 Exhibition-cum-sale for NGOs organized by Nirmala Memorial College, Kandivli, and the exhibition at Taj Wellington Mews on Women's Day.
Teachers from various departments presented Case Studies of a few students, which involved sharing details of the Goals for the student, the Behaviours involved, the Methods, Strategies and Activities used, the Breakthroughs observed as well as Guidance/Suggestions, and the Future Plan for the student.
Staff members were provided with a series of suggestions regarding various procedures and systems to be followed, and responsibilities assigned, during the next academic year. The final activity for the Staff Meeting was entitled "It Takes Two to Mango". This was a fun activity where each staff member was asked to bring any one item that had the mango as an ingredient and share it with another staff member. Each staff member wrote about the person, with whom they wanted to exchange the mango item, expressing their gratitude or their apologies, thus building friendship through this act of sharing and expressing their feelings.
Thus the academic year ended on a meaningful and fun note, building a warm rapport, where everyone looked forward to new achievements in the new academic year.
