Students of Bishop Cotton School exhibited few brilliant artifacts made from waste material during their annual exhibition as parents turned up in large numbers to encourage their wards and see their performances. There were a number of working models on display as part of the exhibition. The chief guest for the occasion was Sukhinder Singh, a student of 1961 batch and the president of Old Cottonion’s Association.
The exhibition saw a vast variety of useful items prepared from waste at home like flowers made of yarn and paper, handmade incense sticks, dolls made from sponge sheets, flowers made from plastic, aprons with boys names painted on them and vases made from ice cream sticks. Plants grown in waste soda bottles decorated by the students in a beautiful way were one of the most attractive exhibits. The most talked about and loved item in the entire exhibition was the miniature of the first flat school building, which was prepared very artistically by the boys. Projects on interesting life under water and subject related topics such as soil erosion were also included in the exhibition.
Talking to few parents, who had come to witness the stunning work of their children, Mrs Bhagoria said, “I am meeting my son after a long time, I am filled with pride to see his work and the overall development and growth as a student”.
