The Badhani School

THEIR TESTS THEIR TRIUMPHS  

Spring brings cheer and some fear too. With the final exams round the corner, the fourth term is always a bit taxing and it shows on everyone's faces .Teachers assume a serious stance and students too move about more businesslike. All are  suddenly seen holding text books and crowding around those better informed. The 'Board Students' are finally cornered and, after some reluctance of course, bow to authority and start discussing patterns, this time of question papers. Badhaniites have regularly produced commendable results and we are confidant, this year too, their  performance will  be a notch higher.

Notwithstanding the sombre and  academic atmosphere, the much awaited Graduation Ceremonies provided a welcome opportunity to rejoice and spread cheer. Retaining high spirits even in tough situations , as everyone knows ,is the hallmark of all Badhaniites.

 Seniors Graduation Ceremony. It truly is obvious  that every new year is  bringing in  smarter, more beautiful and more handsome youngsters. How else can we explain the spectacular display of brawn and brain in red academic gowns ,strutting out  in glory from the steps of the Main School building with the accompaniment of music by 'The Badhani Pipers' . This year the ambitions spelled out of the Graduating Class are an indicator of the change which this generation is intending to usher in. It really is heart-warming to see so many prospective Police Officers wanting to rid India of its woes. Well done Class Of 2010! You lead and see other Indians towing in. All of fine mettle, these young Ladies and Gentlemen.

Award Ceremony. Inter House Competitions. This year the suspense was overbearing. The race for the Cock House Trophy was neck to neck and nobody wanted to wager and guess. Everyone was reluctant to make predictions. As the mystery unfolded the murmurs grew. The Director Mr Parbeer Singh Grewal put all speculations to rest and said that the thrill of holding aloft a trophy is highest when the   game is the winner and that the final score card confirms that, this year too, all Houses did uphold the  'never say die' tradition of Badhaniites. Well, lets grant Silver Oak House their victorious demeanour as the pride in winning the 'Cock House Trophy' does generate a wee bit of envy in others.

Junior School Graduation Ceremony. One satisfactory thing about the Graduation Ceremony of the Junior School certainly is that it has successfully  managed to retain its sheen alongside and inspite of the Graduation Ceremony for the Senior School. Their blue Graduation Gowns complement and enhance the spectre of the Red of the Seniors, both in glamour and glory. Bravo Juniors, our hope and expectations from you are higher as we know you all are made of sterner stuff.

360 Degrees Camp( The School's own 'Mount Camp') . Now that groups are regularly going for camping at 360 Degrees  the competence level of campers is higher. The preparations are detailed and the plans are elaborate. Its an encouraging sign to see them sweat and toil in their all out endeavours to bag the 'Best Camper' and 'Best Team Prizes'. Drawing out  children  to the outdoors is in itself an uphill  task for parents ,what with  today's couch bound and idiot box trained yawning generation. At 360 Degrees Camp they no longer make mountains out of molehills but take pride in wielding the mallet. Who said change is static.

'Jaamawar Minx'. The New Course 'Introduction To Fashion Designing' for Senior Girls by 'Jaamawar Minx', The Badhani School Studio and Lab,  has made noteworthy impact. Young girls aspiring for the fashion industry avail of the opportunity to qualify as exclusive, highly competent and certified fashion professionals. All under the stewardship of Mrs Rupam K Grewal whose creations have created a sensation and taken expectation levels of fashion connoisseurs to a new high.

Well then, celebrations are in order with so many achievements and for the renewed gusto for the forthcoming  new academic session.
