Joyous gathering of volunteers, students and parents to celebrate this academic year.

On the evening of Saturday 2 December, Nalanda Centre welcomed Free School teachers, volunteers, students and their parents for the merry occasion of the School’s Honour & Appreciation Night.  After a fruitful academic year, everyone came together to show their gratitude to the teachers, and to celebrate the students’ success stories.  Categories of awards presented to students by the teachers themselves were “Best Student Award” and “Most Improved Student Award”.

During the simple and meaningful ceremony, teachers and parents joyfully cheered for each student’s growth and achievements.  The children in turn, expressed their gratitude for their teachers’ and volunteers’ selfless service and care throughout the year.  Their heartfelt gesture of thanks highlighted the importance of providing this platform for students to both grow academically and in their values.  A hearty congratulations to our Free School students and volunteers!
