The morning began with the lighting of the lamp followed by a welcome song ‘teri hai zameen tera aasman‘ by students of Form I and II. The Musical Play ‘Noha’s Ark’ enthralled the audience as Noah does God’s bidding and makes an ark which carries his family and all the animals into a new world of peace and hope. Each character played her role with great precision and poise. It was then time for the little ones of Form Nursery to dazzle all as they danced on an English number ‘my heart goes sha la la la‘. The children made their parents proud by displaying forth their hidden talents with participation in the entire programme.
