To enhance critical thinking and communication skills Grade IX had a debate on whether AI/Chat GPT replace teachers. Students could synthesize complex information, and present it intellectually. Grade X students came up with monologues of famous characters from famous dramas and plays. They demonstrated their ability to perform independently by slating their monologues in front of the class.
It was an exhilarating week with lots of fun-filled activities. The week gave a platform for the students to showcase their talents. Participating in various competitions not only increased their knowledge bank but also boosted their self-confidence.
