As a part of the Golden Jubilee Year celebrations, a new concept of Declamation was introduced in the school. The competition was held in the school on the 2nd of December, 2017. In a Declamation a student has to deliver a speech which has previously been delivered in public by an eminent person. Eighteen students of std VIII,IX,X participated in the competition. Students selected inspiring speeches given by popular personalities. Students delivered speeches given by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Narendra Modi, Malala Yusuf, Emma Watson, Ashley Zabhian, Martin Luther King, Tendulkar and many others. The students also shared the reasons for choosing the speech they delivered. Some speeches addressed the issue of women empowerment while others emphasized the importance of making the world a better place to live in. The first prize was bagged by Ms. Aastha Thakkar of std. IX, who gave Malala Yusuf’s inspiring speech on the right to education for every girl. The second prize was won by Ms. Priyal Sanghavi of std. IX and the third prize was shared by Mst. Parth Dedhi of std. IX and Mst. Keval Salot of std. VIII. At the end a few tips and tricks to improve delivery of speech were shared by Ms. Jennifer Thomas. Competitions like these not only help increase the confidence of the students but also open the doors for opportunities of different kinds in the future.
