If one decides not to let one’s mind resign to mediocrity, one is undoubtedly driven towards excellence. For Apeejayites at Model Town School, excellence is a habit as its students are determined to put their heart, mind and soul into their academics and extra-curricular activities.

In a recent ceremony, Apeejay School, Model Town recognised and awarded student scholars highlighting their hard work, perseverance and precision towards their academics during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The event began with a soulful invocation dance as students thanked Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning. After the performance, the Chief Guest of the event, Professor Sarita Tiwari who is a former Doordarshan presenter and compere, along with Ms. Sinia Sajith, the school’s Principal, presented trophies and certificates to the student achievers.

Ms. Sajith emphasised how constant appreciation works as magic for students. She said, “This award ceremony is to motivate the students to keep excelling and sway the Apeejay flag higher.”

“My once introvert child has bloomed like a beautiful fragrant flower ever since he has been tended by the love and care of Apeejay. As a parent, whenever I get the credit for Taresh’s achievements, I just say that he has the best teachers and the best school. I want to thank the school for bringing out the best in him and Taresh is very happy to receive the honour. According to him, the award gave him strength to perform better across all the streams,” says Ms. Arti Datta, mother of class 7 student Taresh Datta.
