“Of all the races, there is no better stage for heroism than a marathon.”   – Dr. George Sheehan

 An exhilarating and vibrant event occurred as young athletes from Classes VI to XII came together at the Shishukunj North Campus to celebrate the spirit of sportsmanship in honour of National Sports Day. The students, along with the dedicated educators, eagerly participated in a 3 km ‘Shishukunj Run.’

An inter-house competition was part of the event, with eight participants from each house competing for individual honours and the title of best house in the marathon. Kalam House triumphed, earning the title of best house, followed by Dhyan Chand House in second place and Devi Ahilya House in third. The school heads awarded medals to the best performers from each class, and the sports department celebrated the winners with enthusiastic applause. Overall, the event was a remarkable success, demonstrating the fitness and endurance of the Shishyans and their Educators.

A workshop on “Careers in Commerce” was conducted for the Shishyans of Classes IX-XII by an experienced professional Mr. Abbas Rampurawala with a robust background in the finance and risk management sectors, particularly with internationally reputed organisations such as HSBC and KPMG. The speaker brought a wealth of knowledge and practical viewpoints to the session, drawing on his vast experiences from multiple countries in the Middle East.

The workshop offered a thorough examination of diverse career opportunities within the commerce sector, with a particular emphasis on finance, risk management, and auditing. The facilitator imparted valuable knowledge drawn from his extensive professional background, equipping participants with a detailed understanding of commerce careers, further enhanced by his broad international experience.

Participants acquired a more profound comprehension of the challenges and opportunities present in the commerce stream, providing them with essential insights to effectively navigate their professional journeys.
