To commemorate this day the students of primary classes had put up a small program on Monday, 09 May 2022.The program started with the introduction speech by Ahem Ahmed of class V followed by a poem recital by Sudeshna Panda of Class III. The mesmerizing poem (amar choto nadi meaning our little river) written by the great Bard gave punctilious details about the river.

The audience dived into the nostalgia when Aryan of class V recited the poem ’paper boats’. The students of class V energized the audience with their splendid song and dance presentation on monsoon ‘Pagli hawa badraya din, pagal mera mann jaage re’.

The students culminated the program to conclude the Theme for the year 2021-22    ‘celebrating Tagore’ with some key learning we gain from Tagore.

Art is the medium for the soul, through which it escapes the mortal cages of the body, and metamorphoses into a higher state of being. Dance is the bridge that lets loose the beauty and the fire within the soul.

The celebrations of the World Dance Day, a day when people from every nook and cranny of the world revel in the absoluteness and joy of dance, took place with much enthusiasm on Friday, 29 April 2022. Students from classes I to XII presented marvelous group and solo dance performances. The themes for classes I-V was Life below Water and Quality Education, for classes VI-VIII it was Life on Land and Clean Water, and Sanitation, and that for classes IX-XII was Climate Action and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. The school auditorium reverberated with the beautiful melodies sung by the students and exceptional instrumental and band performances. The program was concluded with a speech by the school’s senior headmistress, Ms. Debjani Mitra.

Theme: Invest in Our Planet
The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for. With lush green valleys, blue skies, singing birds and butterflies, clear water, bright light, countless colours, full of life. But above all, the Earth is what we all have in common. So, love the Earth as you would love yourself. Today, tomorrow. Make every day, Earth Day.
With this spirit in heart, Tagoreans celebrated the Earth Day with myriad activities across all classes of the school. All the activities were based on the central theme of the year – “Invest in Our Planet”

To commemorate this day, groups of students of Classes VI to X and Class XII created Brochures or Historical guide pages (columns and blocks like a newspaper) on chart paper on a specific heritage site. The facts to include were the history of the site, the relevant dates, significance of the monument and ways of conservation of these monuments. Classes were divided into groups of five students each. Each group used one white chart paper with different art material. They completed the activity in their Social Science period. Class VI completed the activity on the Ancient Period sites of Acropolis of Athens, Pyramids of Egypt, Great Wall of China and the Roman Colosseum. The activity for  Class VII was monuments on the Medieval Period like the Konark Temple, Jamali Kamali, Tughlaqabad Fort and the Golden Temple.
