Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park has always recognised the value of forging future leaders from the bottom up and keeping up with this thought, the school recently organised the scholar badge ceremony. This is one of the most anticipated occasions for the students as they are awarded for their scholastic and extracurricular achievements.
The ceremony began on an auspicious note with the lighting of the lamp. Mr. Vishesh Khanna, Vice President of International Sales-Indigo presided over as the Honourable Chief Guest for the function.



Mr Sandeep Singh Kathuria, Principal, felicitated the guest of honour with a token of appreciation.

The Guest of Honour, Mr. Vishesh Khanna, expressed his gratitude to the school and encouraged the students to turn every adverse circumstance into an opportunity with their will-power, attitude, skill and knowledge.
