On February 28th, the school campus vibrated with intellectual energy as Principal Dr. B. Nagaraja Naik led the National Science Day celebrations. The ceremony commenced with a solemn tribute where the principal, accompanied by students and faculty, garlanded the portrait of Sir C.V. Raman. This gesture served as a powerful reminder of India’s scientific heritage, specifically honouring the 1928 discovery of the Raman Effect. The entire assembly was dedicated to the theme of scientific inquiry, transforming the morning gathering into an immersive educational experience that bridged the gap between historical achievement and modern curiosity.

​The program featured a high-energy Rapid Fire quiz session that turned the assembly into a competitive learning forum. Students eagerly participated, demonstrating their knowledge and gaining new insights into the life and struggles of Sir C.V. Raman. These questions went beyond basic facts, delving into the “how” and “why” of his experiments with the scattering of light.

The interactive nature of the session ensured that the information was not just heard but internalized, fostering a genuine sense of pride among the students as they uncovered the details of Raman’s journey to the Nobel Prize
​Bringing the physics of light to life, the students of Class 7 performed an engaging skit centred on the properties of light and its interaction with various materials. The performance creatively illustrated how light penetrates transparent objects, is diffused by translucent ones, and is obstructed by opaque barriers. By personifying these scientific concepts, the students made the abstract nature of optics tangible and easy to understand for the entire audience. The celebration successfully blended tradition, academic rigour, and creative expression, leaving the students inspired to view the world through a scientific lens.
