Bathed in an elegant fusion of golden and blue hues, the beautifully adorned quad set the perfect tone for the evening. Addressing the gathering, Principal Mr Rakesh Upadhyay, in his warm and inspiring good-wish speech, reflected on the gentle depth of SAYONARA, drawn from the Japanese “Sayō naraba”—“if it must be so.” He likened the farewell to a Sensei parting from students beneath blooming Sakura (Cherry), where blossoms speak of graduation, growth, and the bright joy of youth. With warmth, he reminded them that farewells may mark change, but they never end belonging—they remain forever a part of the PCVN family under PESA.
The distribution of mementoes to the Class XII students by Mr Upadhyay became moments of quiet reflection and gratitude. These were beautifully interspersed with nostalgic melodies, peppy dance performances, and songs, which dissolved the formality of the occasion and filled the air with laughter, applause, and emotional warmth.
The evening reached its celebratory crescendo with the announcement of the much-awaited titles. Amidst thunderous applause and cheerful whistles, A***n Bajpai and Soumya Tripathi were crowned Mr Farewell and Ms Farewell respectively, embodying grace, confidence, and charisma.
