"The future belongs to the curious – the ones who are not afraid to question, to explore, and to grow."
Grade XI B took this spirit to heart and presented an inspiring morning assembly igniting young minds across the school.

The assembly began with an engaging Enlightening Discourse  that challenged students to embrace curiosity as the driving force of innovation and lifelong learning followed by a thoughtful poem written and performed by the students gave voice to the restless spirit that pushes us to question the world around us.

A soulful skit with a song beautifully celebrated the joy of discovering new things, reminding everyone that music too begins with wonder.

The assembly also included a moment of pride as students were felicitated with certificates for their exceptional performance in the recent Art Competition — a testament to how creativity and curiosity go hand in hand.

The highlight of the morning was the collective "Curiosity Oath" taken by all students: “We promise to stay curious, ask questions, seek knowledge, challenge ideas, and never stop learning.”

This powerful moment instilled a shared sense of purpose and enthusiasm across the assembly.

Director Principal Ms. Ritu Mehta applauded the efforts of Grade XI B and motivated students to carry their curiosity into every competition, event, and opportunity—especially the upcoming Model United Nations (MUN) and various inter-house contests. Her words reminded everyone that being inquisitive is the first step to becoming impactful.

Let curiosity lead the way. Let learning never stop.
