Earth Day 2026 unfolded as a powerful and thought-provoking experience, as our students from Grades VI, VII, VIII and IX took centre stage with a shared purpose - to inspire awareness and action for the protection of our planet.

The programme was thoughtfully structured into three compelling segments. It began with a passionate speech that resonated deeply, reminding the audience that the Earth is not an inheritance from our ancestors, but a responsibility we hold for future generations. This was followed by a series of striking environmental facts, presented with clarity and conviction, shedding light on the urgent realities of water scarcity and deforestation.
