However, since it was an Inter-House competition,   Farhanalluh Farooqui and Shuchita Gupta of Class X won the first prize. The second prize was bagged by Kethan Jainof Class VII. Khadija Khan won the third prize.

The students of Classes IX and X put up a short but interesting cultural programme.Most of the senior students represented teachers. The teachers who were called onto the stage to walk the ramp were felicitated and given gifts by the Principal. 

A game of Musical Chairs was also organised for the teachers before the cutting of the cake which marked the end of celebrations by the students. The teachers, later, went out for a lavish lunch hosted by the school management.
