Investiture Ceremony - Middle and Senior School

The investiture ceremony was an occasion to celebrate the indomitable spirit of resilience and empathy and felicitate the new torch bearers of the student body. The Middle and Senior School student body elected their student council virtually for the first time. The whole process of the democratic elections was held in an organised and seamless manner. The candidates shared their vision in their manifesto videos and campaigning was kick started by showing these manifesto videos to the students during the circle time slots. A google doc was shared with the students and they voted for the candidates of their choice virtually on the 19th of June 2021.

The newly elected Student Council was sworn in at the Investiture Ceremony held on the 26th of June, 2021. Before that, the service and leadership of the previous council members who had led by example, holding themselves, those around them and the SNS core values to a higher standard, was lauded.

 Viren Choudhary and Nirvani Jain were elected as the School Captains for the year. Along with School Captains, House captains, Sports Captain, Vice-captains, Prefects, Literary Incharges and Cultural Secretaries, this year, several new posts were introduced namely - MUN secretary, Heritage and History Anchor and Habitat Conservationist.

Col Gopal Karunakaran, CEO of Shiv Nadar School and President of Shiv Nadar University, inspired the council with his motivating words about leadership. Our Director Principal Ms. Wal congratulated and motivated the council to be the voice of the student body and learn the true essence of leadership.

Cherished Moments - Guardian’s Day

The Early Years' Father’s / Guardian’s Day celebration was a heartwarming event that beautifully honored the unique relationship between fathers/guardians and their children. The day commenced with spirited activities like "Percussion" and "Team Building," actively involving parents. The children's performances, featuring songs, rhymes, and joyful dance routines, showcased their love and appreciation. A standout feature was the collaborative co-creation takeaway craft, which allowed fathers/guardians and children to share a creative bonding experience. Feedback from fathers/guardians, including Vishrut’s Father's anticipation, Maanvir’s Father's enthusiasm for drums and clay, and Suvana’s Father's joy in dancing with the kids, encapsulated the event's essence. This heartening celebration not only strengthened familial ties but also created lasting memories, fostering a strong sense of community within the Early Years' cohort.

The “Protean” tour

The "Protean" tour

International exposure and good mentoring go a long way in shaping the budding talent of our young cricketers into tomorrow’s professionals. In our student version of the “joint military exercises”, we sent a team of 12 players under the tutelage of 2 teachers to learn and maybe teach a thing or two to the Proteas.

The Proteas or The South African Cricket Team is a team to reckon with. Their student version lived up to that repute, but our “Pride” were no less. Despite the tough competition, of the 8 matches played we won 6! The feather in the Shiv Nadar School cap was the stupendous achievement of playing matches of 40 overs. A feat applauded by the hosts and their mentors too. The hosts were represented by 4 prominent schools and 2 clubs, KZN and Chatsworth Club.

Chatsworth Club is famous for its star player AB DeVillers, a cricketing legend.

Team Shiv Nadar School was mentored by the current Director of South African Cricket Board Mr. Shaun Warner and CSA level 2 coach Mr Craig Yelverton from Ireland.

Along with the honour of playing with worthy opponents, our students also won some distinguishments, like T-shirts and caps.

Aarav Desai scored 2 centuries against The Hillcrest High School and a half-century against Chatsworth club

Sanket Agarwal scored a hattrick against Winterton Primary School.

Krishang Sehrawat earned the best wicketkeeping cap.

Siddhanth Biswal, at 11years, was the youngest player across all the teams.

Aryan Vadera scored 225 runs and took 2 wickets.

Soham Dawar scored 135 runs and took 8 wickets.

The culmination of the fortnight visit to Durban, South Africa, was the chance to play at the Oval at Petersburg, the 2003 world cup final stadium. The grand finale match was against a team of senior players, some of whom play at County level, our boys stood up to the challenge and were victorious.

All work (play) and no sightseeing would leave the tour incomplete, on their way back from Durban to Johannesburg the teams visited the Oshaka Beach jungle safari and Dolphin show. An apt end to a successful tour.
